Blinchiki, also known as Russian crepes, are a delightful and versatile dish that can be served with various fillings. In this recipe, we will be making Blinchiki with a sweet ricotta filling. These thin and delicate crepes are perfect for breakfast or dessert and are sure to please anyone with a sweet tooth.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs until well beaten.
- Gradually add the water and buttermilk, whisking continuously to combine.
- Stir in the olive oil.
- Add the self-raising flour and salt to the liquid mixture. Whisk until the batter is smooth and lump-free. The consistency should be quite runny.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat.
- Add a small amount of butter to the pan and let it melt, ensuring it coats the bottom.
- Pour a small amount of batter (approximately 1/4 cup) into the pan, tilting the pan immediately to spread the batter evenly across the bottom.
- Cook the blinchiki for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden.
- Flip the blinchiki using a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side.
- Remove the blinchiki from the pan and place it on a plate. Repeat the process until all the batter is used, adding more butter to the pan as needed.
- In a medium bowl, mix the ricotta cheese and vanilla extract until well combined. Taste and adjust the sweetness if needed by adding a bit of sugar or honey if desired.
- Lay a cooked blinchiki flat on a plate.
- Spoon a generous amount of the sweet ricotta filling down the center or across one end of the blinchiki.
- Fold the blinchiki over the filling by rolling it up, or you can fold it into quarters like a crepe.
- Serve the blinchiki warm with your favorite toppings, such as a sprinkle of powdered sugar, a drizzle of honey, fresh berries, or a dollop of whipped cream.
Tips:
- For the smoothest batter, make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before you start mixing.
- If the batter seems too thick, you can add a little more water or buttermilk until you achieve the desired consistency.
- Use a nonstick skillet or a well-seasoned crepe pan to ensure the crepes do not stick.
- Pour the batter into the center of the pan and then tilt it in a circular motion to spread the batter thinly and evenly.
- Stack cooked crepes on a plate and cover them with a kitchen towel to keep them warm and soft until ready to serve.
- Feel free to get creative with additional fillings such as fresh berries, chocolate spread, or even a savory mix for a different twist.
There you have it—delicious Blinchiki with sweet ricotta filling. Whether you serve them right away or save them for later, these delicate Russian crepes are sure to be a hit. Enjoy them with a drizzle of honey, a sprinkle of powdered sugar, or fresh fruit for an extra special treat.
