These tender thin blini are delicate, golden, and wonderfully soft, with a light vanilla scent and edges that curl just slightly as they cook. They are perfect for a slow weekend breakfast or a quick weekday treat, filled or topped however you like. For another easy morning favorite, try our Toasted Lavash Breakfast Pockets.

Tips
- Let the batter rest the full 10 minutes for the most tender texture.
- Use a thin layer of batter and a hot, dry skillet so the blini stay delicate and golden.
