Easy Blini (Russian Pancake)

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking powder
¾ cup milk
2 tablespoons milk
1 large egg
1 tablespoon melted unsalted butter
1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Directions

Gather all ingredients.

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 the batter is fully combined.

Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Cooking several blini at a time, drop batter, one 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. Move to a paper towel-lined plate to help soak up excess butter.

Repeat with the remaining batter.
