Avgolemono

Once upon a time, in a snowy winter town, there lived a little boy named Tommy. Tommy was a cheerful and curious kid who loved to cook. He would spend hours in the kitchen with his mom, experimenting with different ingredients and flavors.

One cold and snowy day, while walking in the park with his mom, Tommy noticed a homeless man sitting on a bench, shivering in the cold. Tommy's heart sank as he thought of how uncomfortable and hungry the man must be.

When they got home, Tommy told his mom that he wanted to make some chicken soup for the homeless man. His mom was surprised but happy to see her little boy's kindness and willingness to help others.

So, they started to work together, chopping vegetables and cooking chicken in a pot. Tommy added some herbs and spices to make the soup extra delicious. The smell of the soup wafted through the house, and Tommy's mom knew it was going to be a hit.

They packed the soup in a thermos and headed back to the park. When they saw the homeless man, Tommy's mom handed him the soup. The man's eyes widened in surprise and gratitude as he took a sip of the soup. It was the best chicken soup he had ever tasted.

Tommy beamed with joy, seeing the man's happy face. From that day on, every time Tommy and his mom went to the park, they would bring some homemade soup for the homeless man. It became their little routine, and Tommy felt proud that he could help make a difference in someone's life.

Slowly start stirring in flour. Start with a cup, and stir a little more at a time until you get a runny batter but not as thin as milk – don’t stress about this step, you can always adjust as you go!

Preheat a 10" non-stick pan over medium heat and rub with oil (I pour some in a little cup and dip a paper towel in, then run it around the pan before making each blin)

Use a 1/4 cup or 1/3 cup measurer to scoop the batter into the middle of the pan, then quickly tilt the pan in a circular motion until the batter spreads to cover the pan surface. It should be a very thin layer. Note: The first few blini may be experimental. Try the 1/4 cup and see if the batter covers the pan. Does it easily slide around the pan? If it’s too thick, add some milk/cream to the batter. If it’s too thin, add more flour to the batter.
