INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 2 cups warm milk (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
  • 1 (.25 ounce) envelope active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 cup buckwheat flour
  • 4 eggs, beaten
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour

DIRECTIONS

  1. Pour warm milk into a large bowl, then sprinkle yeast onto the milk, and allow to soften for 5 minutes. Stir in sugar and buckwheat flour; cover, and let rise for 1 hour.
  2. Stir in the eggs, sour cream, heavy cream, salt, and flour until a batter forms. Cover again, and let rise for 2 hours.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Spray with cooking spray, then pour in small amounts of batter to form 1 1/2-inch blinis. Cook until the blinis begin to set and dry, and the bubbles begin to burst, about 2 minutes. Flip over, and continue cooking until browned on the other side, about 1 minute.
