Delicious Buckwheat Blinis

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Delicious Buckwheat Blinis.

1. Step 1

   Start by pouring warm milk into a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the milk and let it soften for about 5 minutes. This step is crucial as it activates the yeast, giving your blinis that lovely rise.

2. Step 2

   Next, stir in the sugar and buckwheat flour until well combined. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the mixture rise in a warm place for about an hour. This is where the magic happens, as the yeast works its wonders!

3. Step 3

   After the hour has passed, it’s time to add the eggs, sour cream, heavy cream, salt, and all-purpose flour to the bowl. Mix everything together until you have a smooth batter. Cover the bowl again and let it rise for another 2 hours. Patience is key here!

4. Step 4

   Once the batter has risen beautifully, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Lightly spray it with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Pour small amounts of batter into the skillet to form 1.5-inch blinis. Cook them until they start to set and dry, and you see bubbles forming on the surface, which should take about 2 minutes.

5. Step 5

   Carefully flip the blinis over and continue cooking until they are golden brown on the other side, about 1 minute more. Repeat this process until all the batter is used up, and enjoy the delightful aroma filling your kitchen!
