Powered byPreparation
- Step 1
Combine flours, yeast, sugar and salt in a bowl. Stir in warm milk, butter and eggs and mix until smooth.
- Step 2
Set bowl aside in a warm place such as an oven with pilot light on and allow to rise until double in volume, about two hours. Stir batter.
- Step 3
Heat a large, heavy skillet and lightly butter it. Make blini with about a tablespoon of batter each, turning them as they brown and browning the other side. You should be able to fit four blini in a 10-inch skillet. As the blini are finished cooking, place them on a baking sheet in an oven heated to 150 degrees to keep warm.
- Step 4
Serve blini topped with sour cream and more or less of whichever kind of caviar your taste and budget may allow.

One package yeast: 2 1/4 teaspoon yeast

Lacking buckwheat flour, I went with AP flour, which obvs lacked the hearty nuttiness of buckwheat flour but made delicious blini in their own neutral way. After one slightly bland round, I had success doubling the salt in line with similar recipes at America's Test Kitchen and King Arthur Baking.

Substituted oat milk for the cow milk with no regrets. Used 2 1/2 tsp active yeast. The batter was surprisingly active after rising and the blini turned out wonderfully! This is now my go-to recipe.

Surprisingly easy. Next time halve the recipe, use less buckwheat to all-purpose flour. Try to make even smaller (teaspoon?)
