About Blinis

Blinis are small, round pancakes originating from Eastern European cuisine, particularly Russia. Traditionally made with a batter of flour, eggs, milk, and a leavening agent like yeast or baking powder, they can also incorporate buckwheat flour for added flavor and nutrients. Blinis are often served as an accompaniment to savory toppings such as smoked salmon, sour cream, or caviar, though they can also be enjoyed with sweet spreads like jam or honey. Nutritionally, blinis provide energy from carbohydrates and a moderate amount of protein from eggs and milk. Using buckwheat flour boosts their fiber and mineral content, including magnesium and iron, making them a healthier option. However, their healthiness largely depends on the toppings used, as high-fat accompaniments may increase their calorie and saturated fat content. For a balanced diet, pair blinis with nutrient-rich, low-fat toppings like fresh vegetables or yogurt.
