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

Steps:

Combine flour, salt, and baking powder in a bowl.
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.
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.

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

8 medium potatoes, grated
1 medium onion, grated
1 large egg
4 tablespoon(s) flour
1/2 tablespoon(s) powder
1 teaspoon(s) vinegar
3 cup(s) oil, for frying

Steps:

Peel and grate the potatoes and onions Mix all other ingredients together Let stand 15 minutes or so to let the baking powder work. Scoop up the mix in a ball about 2 inches round and deep fry. Serve sprinkled with vinegar.
Notes: Some folks like their blini flat and pan fried, if so, omit the vinegar and baking powder. But I think the fluffier consistency of the deep fried version is worth the effort. This is a version of what our Jewish neighbors called latke, but they generally prepare them flat. Note: In the Ukraine and Russia, blinis are made from regular wheat flour and the higher class folk served theirs with caviar.
