Blinis de sarrasin

Blinis de sarrasin are delicate buckwheat pancakes, perfect for a late-night snack. They are nutty in flavor and can be topped with a variety of savory ingredients for a satisfying vegetarian treat.

Ingredients

• Buckwheat flour - 100 grams
• Milk - 200 ml
• Egg - 1 large
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Baking powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Butter - 20 grams (for cooking)
• Sour cream - 100 grams (for serving)

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine buckwheat flour, baking powder, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until well combined.
3. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms.
4. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes while you prepare your cooking surface.
5. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a bit of butter to coat the surface.
6. Pour a ladleful of batter into the skillet, spreading it slightly to form a small pancake.
7. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown.
8. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
9. Serve the blinis warm, topped with a dollop of sour cream and garnished with chopped chives.
