Traditional Russian Pancakes (Blinchiki)

Ingredients

  1. 350 grams or 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (See notes below for substitutions)
  2. 1/2 teaspoon salt
  3. 3 tablespoon sugar
  4. 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  5. 2 eggs ((see notes below for substitutions))
  6. 800 ml or 3 1/3 cups milk (warmed (see notes below for substitutions))
  7. 100 ml or 1/2 cups cream (for lower calories intake use warm water )
  8. 5 tablespoons melted butter (for lower calories intake use warm water instead)
  9. sunflower oil or canola oil to fry

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, sugar and baking soda. Add eggs, milk, cream and melted butter. Use a whisk attachment of your mixer or food processor to mix the batter until smooth. The consistency of the batter should be a bit thicker than cream with no lumps.
  2. Heat two pans over high heat. Pour a tiny bit of sunflower oil in both pans (you can use a silicon brush to spread it). Use a scoop or a ladle to pour the batter in the middle of the pan. Acting quickly, tilt the pan from side to side while pouring, forming a circle with the batter.
  3. Flip the pancake over with a thin spatula, after the surface looks porous and sides are golden. Fry for half of the time you fried the first side. Repeat with the rest of the batter.
  4. You might want to put them in the warm oven (not warmer then 70 °C/160 °F) to keep them hot before serving. Enjoy!
