Method

  1. Whisk the flour, baking powder, egg and kefir into a batter that pours like light cream. Rest it 10 minutes and do not beat it again.
  2. Pour thin rounds into a pan brushed with a little of the oil, over medium heat, tilting the pan to spread them.
  3. Cook 90 seconds, until the surface goes matt and the edges lift, then flip for 30 seconds.
  4. Mix the cottage cheese with the dill, lemon juice and pepper.
  5. Spread each blin with the cheese and roll it up.
Chef’s tipRest the batter ten minutes and then leave it alone. Blini batter beaten again just before it hits the pan goes tough; poured straight from the rest, it stays tender and lacy.
KeepKeeps 2 days, freezes 2 months with paper between the layers. Warm in a dry pan a minute a side.
SwapNo kefir? Milk with a tablespoon of lemon juice, left to stand five minutes.
