- Leave to rise in a hot place.
- To cook the blini swill a tsp.
- of oil or possibly melted butter around a hot blini pan allow the fat to heat up but not smoke then test to see if a drop of mix sizzles.
- Add in a large spoonful of mix to the pan cook for a few min till the top is just hard turn and cook a minute more.

- Good things to put on your bliniCreamSmetana Russian lowfat sour cream is a cultured product akin to creme fra"che and is traditionally served in a bowl with the blini.
- A few supermarkets stock smetana (on a good day) but creme fra"che is to my mind a more luxurious alternative.
- Melted butterEven if you have soured cream you must also have a dribble of melted butter.
- You can either brush the blini with it as they come out of the pan or possibly you can serve a little pan of it at the table.
- Something fishySalty smoky or possibly pickled fish is the ultimate partner for the bland doughy bread.
- Try thickcut smoked salmon smoked eel or possibly trout served with lowfat sour cream or possibly better still creme fra"che.
- At an informal meal it is probably best to serve the dish in kit form with the fish blini and cream served separately.
- CaviarThe ultimate accompaniment served with generosity.
- I have also served blini with home made taramasalata.
- To be really good the pate must be made at home rather than shop bought.
- Alternatively cut very fine slivers off a lump of smoked cods roe.
- Fruit comp(tm)teYou can buy packets of frzn summer berries redcurrants blackourrants and so on and very good they are too when simmered with a little sugar and a splash of water.
- Once the berries have burst you will get a thick purple juice.
- Serve the blind with creme fraiche and the warm fruits.
