Banana Blinis A La Tina


Posted the11/03/2009 By Carrots 'N' Cake (Visit website)



What a breakfast!!! I found this recipe in Self magazine (March 2009) the other day. (Supposedly, it’s Anna Kournikova’s recipe.) The original recipe made 18 blinis, which was WAY too many for me, so I halved the recipe and made some minor changes to it. 


So, what are these blinis? Honestly, I had no idea, but they looked delicious to me! From Wikipedia:


A blintz, blintze or blin (plural is ‘Blinis’ Russian) is a thin pancake. It is somewhat similar to a crêpe with main difference being the fact that yeast is always used in blini, but not used in crêpes.



I topped my blinis with banana slices and maple syrup. They were SO GOOD! The blinis were soft and sort of chewy like a crepe, but thicker like a pancake. Holy yum!

Ingredients:


1 egg

1 cup milk

1 tsp sugar

Dash of salt

1/2 tsp white vinegar

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tbsp butter (for pan) 

1 banana

Maple syrup  


Directions:



Mix egg, milk, sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl. Add vinegar, flour, and baking soda. Mix well. 
Melt butter (I used Olivio) in medium skillet over low to medium heat.
Pour a thin layer of batter into the skillet.
Fry until golden. 
Flip and repeat. 
Top with sliced banana and maple syrup.


Banana blinis with half of a glass of iced coffee– I drank the other half while cooking blinis! ;-)



The lighting in my apartment stinks! It’s not doing this amazing breakfast justice! I swear they were very scrumptious! :mrgreen:
