About Blin

Blin, also known as blini, is a traditional pancake originating from Eastern European cuisines, particularly Russian and Ukrainian. Made from a simple batter of flour, eggs, milk, and sometimes yeast, blin tends to have a soft, slightly spongy texture. Whole-grain or buckwheat flour varieties are often favored for added fiber and nutrients. Traditionally, blin can be served sweet or savory, paired with fillings like sour cream, caviar, honey, or jam. They’re an excellent source of carbohydrates, providing quick energy, but can be high in calories depending on the toppings. When using nutrient-dense accompaniments like yogurt and fresh fruit, blin can be part of a balanced meal. Due to its adaptability and cultural significance, blin remains a staple dish, celebrated during festivities like Maslenitsa, the Slavic sun festival welcoming spring.
