Look no further than blini. These small savory pancakes are made to be topped with all your favorite ingredients, from caviar\u2014if you\u2019re feeling fancy\u2014to pickled veggies. Our blini recipe is traditional, with buckwheat flour as the main ingredient.<\/p>\n<h2>What are blini?<\/h2>\n<p>Blini are small, unsweetened pancakes served throughout Eastern Europe, though they enjoy particular popularity in Russia. Typically, blini are made small, measuring between 2 to 3 inches across. They look like pancakes and have a similar texture.\u00a0These bite-sized buckwheat pancakes can be topped with everything from honey to smoked fish.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor&#8217;s Note:\u00a0<\/em>Technically,\u00a0<em>blini<\/em> is plural. A single pancake is called a\u00a0<em>blin<\/em>. If you&#8217;re looking for a &#8220;blinis&#8221; recipe, you&#8217;re still in the right place (no judgement).<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Blini<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1921307\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/How-to-Make-Blinis-and-How-to-Top-Them_TOHcom23_273629_P2_MD_09_13_1b_YVedit.jpg?fit=700%2C467\" alt=\"Ingredients for Blinis\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Buckwheat flour:<\/strong> Traditional Russian blini use buckwheat flour. This grain (technically a pseudo-grain) has an earthy flavor and slightly coarse texture.<\/li>\n<li><strong>All-purpose flour:<\/strong> To avoid gritty blini and add softness, the buckwheat flour is cut with the all-purpose flour.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Baking powder:<\/strong> Some blini recipes are leavened with yeast, others with baking powder. Our Test Kitchen prefers the baking powder method for easy results. Before you begin, be sure to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/testing-baking-powder-and-soda\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/testing-baking-powder-and-soda\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">test your baking powder<\/a> to make sure it\u2019s still fresh enough to give the blini the right lift.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Milk:<\/strong> We thin the batter with 2% milk, but buttermilk or heavy cream work too.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Egg:<\/strong> You\u2019ll only need one egg for this blini recipe! Bring it to room temperature by placing it in a bowl and covering it with warm water for 10 minutes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Butter:<\/strong> Melt two tablespoons of butter and let it cool to room temperature so it doesn\u2019t cook the egg when the two are whisked together.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Whisk up the blini batter<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1921308\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/How-to-Make-Blinis-and-How-to-Top-Them_TOHcom23_273629_P2_MD_09_13_2b.jpg?fit=700%2C467\" alt=\"Whisking the Ingredients of Blinis\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In a large bowl, whisk the milk, egg and melted butter together.

Top them with goat cheese and a sprinkling of lemon zest.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Caviar:<\/strong> Caviar and creme fraiche are a traditional topping for these tiny pancakes.

Then top them with sliced cucumber and sprigs of dill.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Recipe Variations<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Change the buckwheat flour:<\/strong> Buckwheat flour is very traditional in most Russian blini recipes. This flour isn\u2019t necessary to make the recipe, though. You can use whole wheat or rye flour instead. These <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/different-types-of-flour-and-when-to-use-them\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/different-types-of-flour-and-when-to-use-them\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">types of flour<\/a> will imbue the recipe with a similar nuttiness. And if you just have all-purpose flour in the pantry, feel free to use that in lieu of buckwheat.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make them dairy-free:<\/strong> Replace the milk with your favorite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/non-dairy-milk-alternatives\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/non-dairy-milk-alternatives\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">non-dairy milk alternative<\/a>. Oat or almond milk are great choices. Then, replace the butter with your favorite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/vegan-butter\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/vegan-butter\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">vegan butter<\/a> or use canola oil.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Blini<\/h2>\n<p>Once the blini have cooled to room temperature, transfer them to an airtight container. They can last in the fridge for up to four days.<\/p>\n<p>To heat up premade blini, arrange them in a single layer on a parchment-lined sheet pan and bake them at 300\u00baF for 5 to 10 minutes. The time will vary depending on the size.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze blini?<\/h3>\n<p>Blini freeze very well. You\u2019ll first want to flash-freeze the blini, so lay them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and stick them in the freezer for one hour. Transfer them to an airtight container and put them back in the freezer for up to six months. Reheat them from frozen in a 300\u00ba oven until they&#8217;re warmed through, 5 to 10 minutes.<\/p>\n<h2>Blini Recipe Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1921313\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/How-to-Make-Blinis-and-How-to-Top-Them_TOHcom23_273629_P2_MD_09_13_4b.jpg?fit=700%2C467\" alt=\"Blinis Stacked on a Plate\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Should blini be served hot or cold?<\/h3>\n<p>Blini are typically served at room temperature. That makes these bite-sized treats the perfect party food. You can make and even top them in advance. Just be wary of wet ingredients that may make the blini soggy as it sits.<\/p>\n<p>This being said, blini can also be enjoyed hot out of the pan. Be mindful of how you top hot blini, though. Toppings like creme fraiche and sour cream will melt if the pancake is too hot.<\/p>\n<h3>Are blini only served as appetizers?<\/h3>\n<p>Blini are most commonly served as appetizers. These single-serve blini are often small\u2014about 2 to 3 inches across. However, blini shouldn\u2019t be limited to a snack. You can make larger blini and serve them as a main course. Top them however you choose and serve them with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/top-10-green-salads\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/top-10-green-salads\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">green salad<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>What\u2019s the difference between a blini, blintz and a crepe?<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/cherry-cheese-blintzes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/cherry-cheese-blintzes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Blintzes<\/a> are made with a thinner batter, which creates a much thinner end product. Blintzes are topped with assorted fillings and then rolled into small bundles. They have a soft, fluffy structure while still being very thin.<\/p>\n<p>Just like blintzes, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/basic-crepes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/basic-crepes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">crepes<\/a> are much thinner than blini. Crepes are incredibly thin and are served either folded and topped with assorted ingredients, or rolled and filled as you see fit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Get ready to elevate your appetizer game with our blini recipe!
