Blini (singular blin; in Russian, блин[ы]) are small Russian pancakes, typically topped with sour cream, jam or caviar.

Ingredients

 * 4 cups of milk, warmed (80–95°F)
 * 1 tablespoon of white granulated sugar
 * 1 tablespoon of salt
 * 5 teaspoons of butter, melted
 * 1 ounce of yeast
 * 1 egg white
 * 1.3 pounds (5 cups) of wheat flour
 * 5 teaspoons of olive oil

Procedure
Блины
 * 1) Dissolve the yeast in 3 cups of the warm milk. Add ½ tablespoon of sugar, salt, egg yolk, and melted butter.
 * 2) Stir, then add half the flour, and knead the dough.
 * 3) Cover the bowl with the dough with a cloth or towel and leave it in a warm place for 1.5–2 hours, or until the volume of the dough is doubled.
 * 4) Heat the rest of the milk to 122°F, then mix it into the batter along with the rest of flour and sugar. Pour in well-whipped egg white.
 * 5) Knead the dough again and leave it until it rises.
 * 6) Heat an oiled frying pan. With a large ladle pour some batter in the center so it makes a circle.
 * 7) When the bottom of the blin is ready (the edges of the blin should have separated from the pan and be pointing upwards), turn it over.
 * 8) After it is ready, put the blin on a large plate and start making the next one.
