Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 1 unit Large egg
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil or butter (for cooking)
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon.
In a separate small bowl, combine the milk, egg, and melted butter. Whisk until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with vegetable oil or a small amount of butter.
For each blini, pour about 1 tablespoon of batter onto the skillet to form small circles, leaving space between each one.
Cook the blinis for about 1 to 2 minutes, or until bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges look slightly set.
Flip the blinis carefully and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes on the other side until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the cooked blinis from the skillet and keep them warm on a plate covered with a clean kitchen towel while you cook the remaining batter.
To serve, stack the blinis on a plate. Dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with maple syrup, and enjoy!
