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
Method
- 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 the batter is fully combined.
- 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.
- Repeat with the remaining batter.
