How To Make Blinis
The healthy homemade blinis are so easy and quick to make. Once you have all the ingredients prepared, you are already halfway done with the dish. First, add buckwheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl, and set aside. Next, whisk milk, egg, and two tablespoons of melted butter in a different bowl. Combine the dry and wet ingredients in one bowl and whisk well. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in the nonstick frying pan on medium heat. Spoon the batter into the pan, one tablespoon for each pancake. Cook each blini for 2 minutes on each side. Gently flip each blini to cook both sides until golden brown on the edges. Finally, assemble the toppings and serve immediately.
