Ingredients

  • 150 g all-purpose flour (Sift before use)

  • 4 g salt (Fine salt preferred)
  • 1 pot (≈125 g) plain yogurt (At room temperature)
  • 150 ml milk (Whole or semi‑skimmed)
  • 30 g butter (Melted and lukewarm)
  • 2 pcs eggs (Separate whites from yolks)
  • 1 pinch ground nutmeg (Optional, for flavor)

Instructions

  1. Prepare dry ingredients

    In a bowl, sift the flour, salt and baking powder then mix them with a whisk.

    Add the yogurt, milk, egg yolks, melted butter and the pinch of nutmeg to the dry mixture. Mix until you obtain a smooth batter.

    Time: PT3M

  4. Fold in the first half of the beaten whites

    Take half of the beaten whites and gently fold them into the batter using a rubber spatula, lifting the mixture to avoid breaking it.

    Time: PT2M

  5. Fold in the remaining beaten whites

    Add the remaining whites and mix gently until you obtain a homogeneous and still airy batter.

    Time: PT2M

  6. Heat the pan

    Time: PT2M

  7. Cook the blinis

    Pour a tablespoon of batter into the hot pan. Cook for about 1 minute until small holes form on the surface, then flip and cook another 1 minute until golden and fluffy. Repeat until the batter is exhausted.

    Time: PT12M

  8. Serve

    Serve the blinis warm, plain or accompanied by smoked salmon, sour cream or jam to taste.

    Time: PT1M
