Ingredients

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

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 2

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

Step 3

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 the batter is fully combined.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Cooking several blini at a time, drop batter, one 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. Move to a paper towel-lined plate to help soak up excess butter.
