facebook share image   twitter share image   pinterest share image   E-Mail share image

Blini, a traditional Russian dish, are small, thick pancakes that are typically served with savory toppings such as smoked salmon, caviar, creme fraiche, or sour cream. They are made with a simple batter of flour, milk, eggs, and butter, and can be cooked in a skillet or on a griddle. This article presents three variations on the classic blini recipe: a basic blini recipe, a buckwheat blini recipe, and a gluten-free blini recipe. The basic blini recipe is a simple and easy-to-follow introduction to making blini. The buckwheat blini recipe adds a nutty flavor and a slightly chewy texture to the blini. The gluten-free blini recipe is a great option for those with gluten sensitivities or allergies. All three recipes are accompanied by step-by-step instructions and helpful tips for achieving the perfect blini.

Categories     appetizer

Time 2h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup whole milk
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup buckwheat flour
4 teaspoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
4 ounces crème fraîche
4 ounces smoked salmon
2 ounces caviar of your choice
minced chives

Steps:

  • Place milk and 3 tablespoons butter in small saucepan. Stir over low heat just until butter melts. Meanwhile, whisk together both flours, sugar, salt, and yeast in a medium bowl. Pour warm milk mixture into dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature until doubled in volume, 1½-1¾ hours.
  • After resting, batter will be bubbly and lofty. Whisk to deflate; then stir in beaten eggs just to incorporate-the texture should be silky. Meanwhile, set a skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of butter. Working in batches, pour 2 tablespoons batter for each blini onto skillet, spacing apart. Cook until bubbles form on top and they begin to pop, about 1½ minutes. Turn blinis; cook until golden brown on bottom, another 1½ minutes (add more butter to the pan as you need it). Transfer blinis to a serving platter. Tent with foil to keep warm while you cook remaining blinis. Makes approximately 12 blinis.
  • Assembly: Serve blinis with a dollop of crème fraîche, smoked salmon, and caviar-the more the better!
