Fill Russian pancakes: with curd or tvorog?

To fill the thin pancakes are best suited layer cheese, cottage cheese or Russian tvorog. Curd has too liquid consistency and is less suitable for filling blini. If you do use curd for the recipe, first drain the excess liquid from the curd. To do this, put curd in a dish towel or straining cloth and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Then you can use it to fill blini, as described in the recipe below. If you want to use tvorog for the filling, you can buy it in Russian stores or some supermarkets. You can also easily make your own tvorog. If you want to use layered cheese or cottage cheese for filling blini, make sure when you buy the cheese that it is not salty.

How to make blini filled with tvorog: tips and tricks

• If you’ve never made blini before, it can be difficult at first to get the pancakes to be very thin. Therefore, use a smaller pan for frying blini the first time. This will allow you to spread the batter thinly over the entire surface of the pan more quickly. Don’t put too much batter in the pan so that you get a thin layer.
• Unlike the classic blini, which are not filled, these should not get too golden brown when fried, as they will be fried again in the pan after being filled.
• If you use curd to fill Russian pancakes, first squeeze out the excess liquid from the curd using a straining cloth.
• You can buy tvorog in Russian stores and some supermarkets or simply make it yourself.
• If you use layered cheese or cottage cheese to fill blini, it should not be salty.
• If you like the filled pancakes sweeter, add more sugar to the filling.
• I had used a Ø 28 cm coated pan for frying the blini and got 17 pancakes with it. I had filled each pancake with a tablespoon of tvorog filling. Depending on how big your pan is, you will end up with more or less blini. You have to distribute the filling accordingly.
• Store the blini filled with tvorog in a sealable container in the refrigerator. They will keep for about 3 days. Before serving, you can warm them up in a pan with a few drops of water and a lid on.
