Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Psyllium husk powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 4 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
- 1.25 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons Butter (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until evenly mixed.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Add in the heavy cream and unsweetened almond milk, whisking until combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking constantly to form a smooth, lump-free batter. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the psyllium husk and coconut flour to thicken the mixture slightly.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium-low heat. Lightly grease the pan with a small amount of butter or your preferred keto-friendly oil.
Pour 2-3 tablespoons of the batter into the center of the pan and quickly tilt the pan in a circular motion to evenly spread the batter into a thin layer (about 6-8 inches in diameter).
Cook the blini for about 1-2 minutes or until the edges begin to set and the bottom is lightly golden. Carefully flip the blini using a spatula and cook the other side for 30-45 seconds.
Transfer the cooked blini to a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.
Serve the blini warm with your choice of keto-friendly toppings such as sour cream, smoked salmon, sugar-free jam, or melted butter.
