Step-by-Step Instructions
1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, warm milk, yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix the ingredients together until a smooth batter forms.
2
Add the eggs and melted butter to the batter and mix until well combined.
3
Knead the batter on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
4
Place the batter in a greased bowl, cover it with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, until it has doubled in size.
5
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Pour a small amount of batter onto the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges start to dry.
6
Flip the blini over and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown.
7
Serve the blini warm, topped with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of chopped fresh herbs.
