Easy Blini Recipe: Authentic Russian Pancakes

Ingredients

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

Instructions

1. Prepare all the ingredients as listed.
2. In a mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the flour, salt, and baking powder.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons of milk, the egg, and 1 tablespoon of melted butter. Gently incorporate this wet mixture into the dry flour mixture until a smooth batter is achieved.
4. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet set over medium-low heat. Working in batches, carefully drop batter onto the hot skillet, using one tablespoon of batter per blini.
5. Allow the blini to cook until bubbles begin to appear on the surface, approximately 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Flip each blini and continue to cook until golden brown, about 1 minute longer. Transfer the cooked blini to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess butter.
6. Continue this process with the remaining batter until all blini are cooked.
