Ingredients
4 Servings
- 120 g all-purpose flour
- 30 g butter
- 2 eggs
- 240 ml milk
- 1 pinch salt
- 15 g sugar
- 120 ml water
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, milk, water, eggs, salt, and sugar. Whisk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
Step 2
Let the batter rest for 15-30 minutes to allow the gluten to relax and the bubbles to subside.
Step 3
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter.
Step 4
Pour a small amount of batter onto the skillet and quickly tilt the pan to spread the batter evenly.
Step 5
Cook for about 1-2 minutes, until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is golden brown. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side.
Step 6
Transfer the cooked blini to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
Step 7
Serve the blini warm with your favorite toppings or fillings.
