Instructions

  1. Step 1: Whisk 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon baking powder in a bowl. Beat 2 large eggs in another bowl until frothy, then add 1 cup milk and 2 tablespoons melted butter, whisking until combined.
  2. Step 2: Gradually stir wet ingredients into dry until smooth (2 minutes). Rest batter 15 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Heat non-stick skillet over medium heat. Grease lightly with butter. Pour 1/4 cup batter per blini, spreading slightly to form circles. Cook 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and edges set.
  4. Step 4: Flip blini and cook 1-2 minutes until golden. Repeat with remaining batter.
  5. Step 5: Serve warm blini topped with 4 ounces smoked salmon, 1/4 cup sour cream, and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill.
