RUSSIAN BLINI

Cooking

1. In a deep bowl, mix flour and kefir. Add the oil and mix the dough until it's smooth.
2. Let the dough rest for 10-15 minutes.
3. Melt a tablespoon of butter in a small frying pan over medium-high heat. Pick the pan up off the heat. Pour in a ladleful of batter while you rotate your wrist, tilting the pan so the batter makes a circle and coats the bottom. The blini should be very thin.
4. Return the pan to the heat. Cook the blini for 90 seconds. Carefully lift up an edge of the blini to see if it's fully cooked: the edges will be golden and it should have brown spots on the surface. Flip the blini over and cook the other side for 1 minute. Done. Repeat untill you run out of dough.
5. Prepare any kind of filling you prefer. For example:
   - Mix cottage cheese with chopped herbs, add salt and freshly ground pepper to taste;
   - Boil and chop the eggs, add the green onions and season with mayonnaise;
   - Boil the buckwheat, fry the mushrooms and onions, and mix everything together;
   - Mix the chicken breast with the cheese and garlic and put it out in a small amount of sour cream;
   - Mix the cottage cheese and honey, add some walnuts and raisins;
   - In hot milk, melt a chocolate bar, a little butter and a banana cut into circles.
