Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 pkg dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • 3 eggs separated
  • 1 Tbs sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 to 2 cups warm water
  • 2 1/2 cups buckwheat flour ( or you could use half white & half buckwheat or even all white flour- see note at end of recipe)
  • 1 to 2 cups hot milk

Directions
  1. Dissolve yeast in the 1/4 cup warm water. Mix egg yolks with sugar, salt and melted butter.
  2. Stir in remaining water and add flour gradually blending smooth.
  3. Beat egg whites stiff and fold into the mixture.
  4. Cover bowl with cloth and let the mixture rise double in volume at room temperature - could be up to 2 hours plus.
  5. Just before making blini, heat milk and pour over the blini batter
  6. The amount of milk or liquid you add depends on the type of flour used.
  7. Buckwheat flour makes a thicker batter and white flour a thinner batter. )
  8. Mix well .
  9. The batter should be fairly fluffy in texture buit quite pourable.
  10. Let the batter rest/rise an additional 15 to 30 minutes,.
  11. Cook blini in a hot buttered pan or griddle.
  12. Ladle about 1/2 cup batter to make a 3 to 4 inch blini , or drop from a
  13. tablespoon for smaller blini.
  14. I suggest you do the smaller size blini as these pancakes may be very delicate depending on the type of flour you choose for the
  15. recipe and it is easier to turn the smaller ones.
  16. Serve blini with sour cream, melted butter or as desired.
  17. Note: 100% buckwheat flour pancakes have a thicker spongier texture than do blini made with all white flour or combinations of both types of flour.
  18. Buckwheat flour may be purchased at natural foods or health food stores.
