Pancakes on boiling water

5 servings

20 minutes

Bliny made with boiling water are a traditional Russian treat known for their delicate texture and lightness. Unlike classic pancakes, the addition of boiling water makes the batter especially light and porous, giving the finished dish softness and elasticity. The origins of the recipe trace back to deep Russian culinary traditions where housewives invented this method to make pancakes even thinner and tastier. They are served hot with jam, honey, sour cream, or condensed milk, enjoying a unique flavor that combines sweetness and tenderness. Such pancakes are perfect for both festive breakfasts and cozy family dinners.
