Part 3 of 3 — the last installment about Friday’s adventures.
We arrived back at the children’s home at 8:00 p.m. and Elena insisted that we needed to eat dinner (despite the fact that we had already eaten twice in the last 5 hours!). She invited us in to have blynai, a type of pancake. Upon discovering that I had never made blynai (making American pancakes from Bisquik didn’t count), she decided this was the perfect time for me to learn.
Step 1: Who needs measuring cups
Put a lot of flour in a mixing bowl, add some salt, pour in water and milk, mix until the batter is the right consistency, add an egg. We used a turkey egg.
Step 2: Everything’s better when fried
Pour small circles of batter into oil-filled pan. Alternatively, pour a larger circle into pan, place cheese or sausage or varškė on one side and fold in half. Cook until golden-brown. Keep adding oil to the pan for each batch of blynai.
Step 3: Enjoy
Serve blynai with jam and sour cream. Yummy!
