Here is an update on my blinis. Please refer to my previous post ‘The Delicious Ms Dahl: Romancing the food’ if you haven’t already read it. In it, I mentioned that I would try out the recipe and I did. Well, I made some variations to the recipe by adding wholemeal flour instead of buckwheat flour, a little bit more cheddar cheese in grated form, low-fat milk instead of full-fat and omitted the mustard powder. Instead of butter that the recipe called for, I added some low-fat milk for a healthier option.
The batter absorbed the oil quickly and thus got stuck to the frying pan which made it difficult to turn over. I added a bit more oil to the edge of it to ease the flipping process for each batter.
The result was satisfying. Though fluffy and light, the cheese gave an added richness to the flavour. The chives enhanced the taste, giving it a tinge of sweetness which was delicate to the taste buds. It was indeed a filling and wholesome breakfast and predictably, I skipped lunch.
