Mini Blinis For Brunch Recipes

EASY BLINI (RUSSIAN PANCAKE)

Steps:

• 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 batter is fully combined.
• Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Drop batter, 1 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. Lay on plate lined with a paper towel to help soak up excess butter. Repeat with the remaining batter.

MINI-BLINI

Steps:

• Combine flours, yeast, sugar and salt in a bowl. Stir in warm milk, butter and eggs and mix until smooth.
• Set bowl aside in a warm place such as an oven with pilot light on and allow to rise until double in volume, about two hours. Stir batter.
• Heat a large, heavy skillet and lightly butter it. Make blini with about a tablespoon of batter each, turning them as they brown and browning the other side. You should be able to fit four blini in a 10-inch skillet. As the blini are finished cooking, place them on a baking sheet in an oven heated to 150 degrees to keep warm.
• Serve blini topped with sour cream and more or less of whichever kind of caviar your taste and budget may allow.

POTATO BLINIS - LITHUANIAN.

Steps:

• Grate the potatoes on the star pattern of your grater, so it comes out looking like a sort of paste.
• Stir in the salt, then start making a well in the mix with a large spoon, removing as much water as possible.
• When you are fed up with this procedure, mix in the egg. At this stage you may want to add a spoonful of flour (plain) or cornflour, but try to resist as it alters the taste of the blini. A spoon of potato flour or starch would be better, but nothing at all is really necessary.
• Add oil and butter to a hot pan, put spoonsful of mixture - 1 spoon per blini - and cook until golden, turn and cook the other side until golden. Place on a platter, covered, in a warm oven to keep warm until the rest of the mixture is cooked.
• My mother-in-law has always served these with several side dishes of quartered tomatoes, sliced lengthwise cucumbers both fresh and pickled (Polski Ogorki), sour cream, caviar, as either an entree or a main, depending upon how many pounds of potatoes used and how keen you are.
