Russian Recipe ⤏ Easy Blini (Russian Pancake)

I love these bite-sized pancakes because they make 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
• ¾ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ¾ cup milk
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon melted unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Cooking Directions

1. Combine flour, salt, and baking powder in a bowl.
2. 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 batter is fully combined.
3. Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Drop batter, 1 tablespoon at a time, onto the heated skillet. Cook until bubbles form, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until brown, about 1 minute more. Lay on plate lined with a paper towel to help soak up excess butter. Repeat with the remaining batter.
