Blinchiki Recipe

Blinchiki are delicate, thin Russian-style pancakes with a light and slightly buttery texture, perfect for both sweet and savory fillings. Made from a simple batter of flour, eggs, milk, and a touch of sugar, these versatile crepes can be rolled or folded around a variety of fillings, such as fresh fruit, jam, or cream for a sweet treat, or cottage cheese, mushrooms, or meat for a savory option. Lightly golden and soft, blinchiki are a beloved dish for breakfast, dessert, or even a snack, bringing a taste of Eastern European comfort to your table!
