Oh my goddess you are a live saver. For my AP World final we’re making foods from other regions/countries and sharing historical facts about them, and I chose the Russian blini. I realized that the recipe I was using wasn’t authentic(thank goddess this was before I made the blinis) upon finding the thin blini recipes as opposed to the teacake ones, and came to use yours for a more accurate recipe. Can’t wait to try it out tomorrow, I hope its a hit with my class on Tuesday lol!
As a person living in Russia, I can say that this recipe is really good! Especially the fact that you added kefir. I can recommend diluting the baking soda with a small amount of boiling water, then the texture of the blini will turn out with even more bubbles during baking! And I can say that you are very talented! Keep it up!
🧸Hello, I'm from Mexico. I've never tried to make Blini's before; I'd like to give this recipe a try, however, this is the first one I encountered that requires baking soda, so my question is, does the baking soda make them taste different? Also, what happens if I go with say... 500 ml Buttermilk + 375 ml Water for your recipe? For reference, I've only have been using this crepes recipe for years, so i'd like to know your opinion: 1 Cup of flour 1.5 Cups of milk (or 1 cup of milk + 0.5 cup of beer) 2 Eggs 3 Tbsp of Butter 2 Tbsp of sugar 1 or 2 pinches of salt. 1 tsp Vanilla I always make these for dessert, but I wanted to give the Blini's a try and try to suprise my family with a new recipe. A little taste of Russia. Here's the other Blini recipie I found. 2 eggs (120g) 3 Tbsp vegetable oil (18g) ~1/3 tsp salt 2 Tbsp sugar (40g) 150g all-purpose flour 300g water 150g milk ... Thoughts?
this is my family recipe for blini: Blini Recipe Ingredients ~1 egg ~1 Tbsp vegetable oil ~1-2 cup’s warmed up milk ~½ Tsp salt ~2 Tbsp sugar ~2 Cups Flour ~1 Tsp baking powder ~1 Cup boiling water ~1 Tbsp vinegar Directions 1.beat egg vegetable oil milk salt sugar Flour and baking powder until reaches sour cream consistency 2. Mix hot water and vinegar then add to mixture 3. Heat up frying pan to very hot and oil it 4. Make crepes and oil in between crepes
I don't and it's not something I grew up eating. Although buckwheat flour was traditionally used that was literally centuries ago and nowadays wheat flour is commonly used for blini.
Russians don't use buckwheat flour in most dishes, I don't know where the myth that blinis are made of buckwheat flour and served with sour cream and smoked salmon came from, but it is not what most Russians use nowadays.
Kefir is terrible. It makes the blini batter very thick, and the blini themselves are sour. Nobody wanted to eat them. I even tried a second batch using kefir as only half of the wet with normal milk as the other half. It still had an unpleasant sour taste and wasn’t as pliable as normal blini. I had to throw away most of both batches, because nobody wanted them and they got old in the refrigerator (something that never happens with normal blini). Some people may like the sour taste and the thick, rubbery texture, but not our household, or anyone who came over expecting normal blini. If I tried kefir again, which is very unlikely at this point, I would cut it even further so that the kefir only made up 1/4, or less, of the wet.
Could it be that your kefir went off? Organic live kefir has a pretty short life and goes sour very quickly. If your start with an out of date ingredient, you will end up with something terrible. Nothing to do with the recipe. Buttermilk and kefir are very COMMON ingredients to use in pancakes. They do not contribute to sour taste but give the batter a bit of rise and a light texture due to lactic acid found in kefir. All those bubbles you see in the blini in the video are from kefir. The final product should definitely be neither rubbery nor sour. I don't blame your family for not wanting to eat them.
if is thick you can dissolve it with milk/water. Kefir crepes are hard to make because they are very tender and easy to rip. I do crepes with sour milk and old kefir and they tend to be a little sour but thats not bad.
havent tried it yet, but i think it has to do with the amount of flour in this recipe you have 2 cups of flour, which is twice the amount indicated in other recipies, which only would require 500 ml of liquid.
@@danielito750 I am curious what recipes you are comparing this to? This is a recipe for Russian blini, not French crepes. They look similar but have a different taste and texture. I was born and raised in Russia and have been making these since I was allowed to be in the kitchen. You would think I can be considered an expert in my own cuisine.
@@Vikalinka_by_Julia_Frey Im comparing it to this one here, bcuz Ive never made Blinis in my life, but both of these recipes are completely different. For isntance, you don't even add oil to the batter, but you do add baking soda... So I am a little bit confused tbh... ua-cam.com/video/OXCJTm53OMs/v-deo.html
as a lithuanian who does russian things and speaks russian, i approve of this recipe.

Very hard bilini i need simple
I m gonna try this ✨
Love from. India
Kazakh blini are also really good (I’m from Kazakhstan)
nice recipe! I think the video leaves out the step of adding 3T of oil to the batter mixture.
Once, some Frenchman (I presume) mistook oladyi for bliny, and now all Western cuisine thinks "blinis" are very small pancakes... :(
Good morning dear beautiful moon great video and channel goodluck priness❤
Do u use buckwheat flour to make Russian blini?
I don't and it's not something I grew up eating. Although buckwheat flour was traditionally used that was literally centuries ago and nowadays wheat flour is commonly used for blini.

The milk amount is too much in recipe. It must be less like half...
No
