FRIJE

Instructions

• 1.   Dissolve yeast in warm water in a small container and let it sit for 5 minutes.
• 2.   In a bowl, mix together the flour, salt, and eggs one by one.
• 3.   Pour the yeast/water mixture into the bowl while whisking to ensure a smooth batter without lumps.
• 4.   Cover with a cloth and let it rest until the batter doubles in volume, about one hour (to speed up the process, place the bowl in the sink or in a larger bowl filled with warm water).
• 5.   Heat a skillet (preferably a blini pan) with a little bit of fat.
• 6.   Pour 2 tablespoons of batter per blini. Let it brown on each side.
• 7.   Serve warm or cold with smoked salmon, cream, and lemons. You can also serve them with sweet toppings like honey or jam.

Notes & Suggestions

• A variation is to only mix the egg yolks, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form, and gently fold them into the batter once it has risen.
