🧂 Ingrediënten
- 7 g Active dry yeast(One standard packet)
- 500 ml Warm milk(Approximately 40-45°C (105-115°F))
- 150 g Buckwheat flour(Finely ground)
- 150 g All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Sugar(To feed the yeast)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 3 Eggs(Separated into yolks and whites)
- 2 tablespoons Butter(Melted, plus more for cooking)
👨🍳 Instructies
- 1
Activate the yeast: In a large bowl, combine the warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy, indicating the yeast is active.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 2
Make the sponge: Add the buckwheat flour and all-purpose flour to the yeast mixture. Whisk until smooth. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size and bubbly.
⏱️ 1 hour - 3
Prepare the egg mixture: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, melted butter, and salt.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 4
Incorporate egg yolks and adjust consistency: Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the risen batter. The batter should be thick but pourable, similar to heavy cream. If it's too thick, add a splash more milk.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 5
Whip egg whites: In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. This will make the blini light and airy.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 6
Fold in egg whites: Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter in two additions, being careful not to deflate them. The batter should be light and airy.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 7
Cook the blini: Heat a lightly buttered non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat (around 190°C / 375°F). Ladle about 2-3 tablespoons of batter per blini onto the hot surface. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. You'll see small bubbles forming on the surface before flipping.
⏱️ 20-25 minutes - 8
Serve immediately: Stack the cooked blini on a plate, keeping them warm. Serve hot with your favorite toppings such as caviar, smoked salmon, sour cream, or a dollop of crème fraîche.
