+
+A classic that has its many spins in different cuisines, including Russian
+cuisine. Recently was the maslenitsa[^1], so as usual I decided to prepare them.
+They can be filled with sweets or meat or basically any food.

+
+## Ingredients
+
+The following ingredients should yield about 15 blinys.
+
+* 300—400g wheat flour
+* 700—900ml milk
+* 2 teaspoons baking soda
+* 2—3 eggs
+* 1 teaspoon olive oil or melted butter
+* Butter
+* Boiling water
+* Sugar
+* Salt
+
+## Instructions
+
+1. You should start by adding the flour to a bowl, then add the eggs, sugar and
+   slat to taste, and baking soda.
+2. Next add the milk carefully, so that the batter ends up liquid enough, but
+   not too liquid. It should be more liquid than bread batter, but not too
+   liquid so that it doesn't drip too fast.
+3. Add little bit of boiling water and mix the batter until it becomes
+   homogeneous. If you feel its too liquid, add a little bit of flour, if it's
+   not liquid enough, then add a little bit more milk.
+4. Heat up a frying pan to medium heat, cover with a thin layer of melted
+   butter, you can use a paper napkin or towel for that.
+5. Slowly pour the batter to the pan rotating it a little bit while you do this,
+   such that you end up with a thin layer of batter that covers all the pan.
+6. Cook until you see little bubbles or pores forming in the batter, then flip,
+   and cook for another couple of minutes.
+7. Once one blin is ready, remove it from the pan and put it on a plate. Spread
+   some butter on its top.
+8. Continue cooking the bliny, spreading butter on the pan with a paper
+   napkin/towel once every 1-3 bliny, until you run out of batter.

+[^1]: [A Slavic holiday](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslenitsa) celebrated at
+  the end of winter. It is typical to prepare bliny this time of year.
