This blini recipe makes bite-sized pancakes that result in perfect appetizers. Top blini with smoked salmon, creme fraiche, or even caviar. Add a sprig of dill and they are sure to impress. My children also love eating these plain too!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.75 teaspoons salt
  • 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
  • 0.75 cups milk
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon melted unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. 1

    Gather all ingredients.

  2. 2

    Combine flour, salt, and baking powder in a bowl.

  3. 3

    Whisk 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons milk, egg, and 1 tablespoon melted butter together in a separate bowl. Mix into the flour mixture until the batter is fully combined.

  4. 4

    Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Cooking several blini at a time, drop batter, one tablespoon at a time, onto the heated skillet.

  5. 5

    Cook until bubbles form, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until brown, about 1 minute more. Move to a paper towel-lined plate to help soak up excess butter.

  6. 6

    Repeat with the remaining batter.
