Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups buttermilk; 3/4 cup all-purpose flour; 1/2 cup buckwheat flour; 2 large eggs; 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted; 1 tablespoon sugar; 1 teaspoon salt; 1/2 teaspoon baking powder; 1/4 teaspoon baking soda; 1/2 cup seltzer or club soda; Canola oil, for brushing

1
In a food processor, combine all of the ingredients except the seltzer and canola oil and puree until smooth.
2
Scrape the batter into a large bowl and let stand for 15 minutes.
3
Whisk 1/3 cup of the seltzer into the batter; it should have the consistency of pancake batter; add a bit more seltzer if the batter is too thick.
4
Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over moderate heat until very hot.
5
Brush with oil.
6
Spoon tablespoon-size mounds of batter into the hot skillet and cook until bubbles form on the surface and the blini are browned on the bottom, about 1 minute.
7
Flip the blini and cook for 30 seconds longer.
8
Transfer the blini to a baking sheet.
9
Brush the skillet with oil as needed and repeat with the remaining batter, layering the cooked blini on the baking sheet.
10
Serve the blini warm or at room temperature.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
