Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 cup water (to adjust batter consistency)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional for flavor)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Prepare the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt.

    Make sure there are no lumps.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients

    Add milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until smooth.

    Use a hand mixer for a lighter batter.
  3. Adjust Consistency

    Add water gradually if the batter is too thick.

    The batter should be pourable but not runny.
  4. Heat the Pan

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter.

    Ensure the skillet is hot before pouring the batter.
  5. Cook the Blini

    Pour a small amount of batter into the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown.

    Flip when bubbles form on the surface.
  6. Serve Warm

    Serve the blini warm with your choice of toppings such as sour cream, caviar, or fruit.

    Keep cooked blini warm in a low oven.
