Time 1h40m

Yield Makes about 4 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (one 1/4-ounce envelope)
1/2 cup warm water (110 degrees)
1 cup all-purpose flour
Coarse salt
1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted, plus more for pan
1/2 teaspoon sugar
2 large eggs, separated
Garnish: Creme fraiche and salmon or trout roe

Steps:

  • Sprinkle yeast over water. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Stir together flour and 1/2 teaspoon plus a pinch of salt. Stir together buttermilk, butter, sugar, and egg yolks in a large bowl; whisk in yeast mixture, then flour mixture. Let stand, covered, in a warm place for 30 minutes.
  • Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form; fold into batter. Let stand for 10 minutes.
  • Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat, and coat with a thin layer of butter. Add a scant tablespoon batter for each blin (about 6 or 7 per skillet), and cook, flipping after bubbles appear at edges and color turns golden, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a parchment-lined tray, andlet cool for 30 minutes. Garnish with creme fraiche and caviar.

I've made these blini several times now and they always turn out perfect. They're so easy to make and they're always a crowd-pleaser.

These blini were a bit too thick for my taste, but they were still good. I would recommend using less batter next time.

These blini were a bit too eggy for my taste, but they were still good. I would recommend using less eggs next time.
