(super delicious thin Russian Pancakes)
3 ½ cups buttermilk
½ cup water
2 eggs
3 cups flour
½ tsp baking soda
3 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
Whisk buttermilk, water, and eggs. Add 1 cup of the flour, the baking soda, sugar, and salt.
Whisk until smooth. Whisk in remaining flour, 1 cup at a time. Let batter sit for 20
minutes. Coat frying pan with a small amount of oil, over medium heat. Pour in
about ½ cup batter, rotate pan around quickly so batter spreads evenly. Cook
for about 1 min, flip and cook 1 more min. Oil pan before each blini.
*The first one is always a lump, but keep trying. So
yummy served with sour cream (I prefer crème fraiche, hard to find and expensive though, so a mock creme fraiche recipe follows) and preserves-cherry is the best and most traditional, but raspberry,
blackberry, etc. are good too.
Mock Crème Fraiche: Whip one cup heavy whipping
cream to form stiff peaks, then fold in 1/3 cup sour cream.
