To burn it off
Blini are thin Russian pancakes made of flour, milk and eggs, often with yeast. They are fried one by one and stacked with butter. Maslenitsa, the week before Lent, is when everyone makes them.
Three are 330 kcal, with 45 g of carbs, 12 g of fat and 9 g of protein. That is before the filling or the topping.
The topping decides the rest. Smetana, jam, honey, condensed milk or red caviar all go on top, and each one adds its own.
Tips
- 1Brush them with a little butter instead of a lot.
- 2Fill them with cottage cheese or smoked fish for more protein.
- 3Use one spoon of jam or smetana, not the whole jar.
