Method
Tips
- Why it works
- The batter should be thin so the bliny come out delicate and crisp. If it's thick, they turn dense and dry.
- Substitutions
- Instead of red caviar, use canned pink salmon (25 g) or salmon (30 g). Instead of green onion, dill (5 g) works.
- Common mistakes
- The bliny burn outside but stay raw inside. Check for doneness 30 seconds after bubbles appear.
- Storing and reheating
- Keep the bliny in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in a dry pan for 1 minute per side, and don't warm the caviar.
- Serve with
- Serve for Maslenitsa or as a snack with champagne on a festive table.
