Ingredients:

Instructions:

Prepare the Batter:

  - In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, melted butter, sugar (if using), and salt until smooth. Let the batter rest for about 15 minutes to allow the flour to absorb the liquid.

Cook the Blinchiki:

  - Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.

  - Pour about ¼ cup of batter into the skillet, tilting the pan to spread it evenly into a thin layer.

  - Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is golden brown. Flip and cook for an additional 1 minute.

  - Transfer the cooked Blinchiki to a plate and cover with a kitchen towel to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Fill and Serve:

  - Spread your desired filling over one side of the Blinchiki, fold in half or roll it up, and serve warm.

  - For sweet Blinchiki, sprinkle with powdered sugar or drizzle with syrup. For savory Blinchiki, garnish with fresh herbs or a dollop of sour cream.

Enjoy your homemade Blinchiki with a variety of fillings for a delightful treat!
