As written this recipe is a fail. I've been to Russia and eaten a ton of blini's and I've made a fair amount of crepes so I understand cast iron pans and thin batter. This was NOT it. Batter is way too milky. I started as written and made and tasted a couple of times. Then I added double flour and made and tasted. Still not right. I added a bit more sugar. Better and now I'm off to add a pinch of baking soda as others have suggested. But next time I'm looking for a completely different recipe - or just making my awesome french crepes and calling them blinis :-)

These tasted yummy, but weren't as thick as the ones that my husband's grandmother used to make. She passed away before I knew enough to ask her for her recipe. This one is a good, tweak-able recipe though. Hopefully it will help me recreate the ones I remember!

Batter too thin, need to reduce the milk amount. Otherwise, looks like a traditional recipe

I liked this. I did however make them too thick. Next time I make it I'll be more careful of the amount I pour.

I just whipped up a batch of these - easy, flavorful and turned out really really well - a hit with my guests! so easy the first time I made them they were just right - so tasty!

My first two blinis balled up, I think because I had too much oil in the pan. After that they were wonderful! We had them with sour cream and caviar for Christmas Eve and the flavour was just perfect.

Now for all those people who elected to try something new, but do not know- that these should be cooked in a cast iron skillet, so as to have even heat. this is what alot of people do not know.
