Russian crepes (Blini) - Without filling

Traditional thin, tender, golden, creamy Russian crepes (Blini).

Russian crepes (Blini) are more than just food. They are a culinary tradition that brings together the warmth of home and centuries of heritage. A traditional Russian crepe (Blini) is golden, beautifully browned, and dotted with hundreds of tiny holes that let the sunlight shine through. It is so thin and delicate that it seems almost translucent, yet wonderfully soft and elastic. Fresh off the pan, each hot crepe is generously topped with a pat of butter. The butter melts instantly, soaking into the crepe and giving it an appetizing sheen. These crepes are delicious with all kinds of accompaniments: thick sour cream, lightly salted red fish, fragrant honey, jam, or fresh berries. Even without any filling or topping, a simple crepe is wonderfully flavorful and aromatic on its own.
