Quick Buckwheat Blini
- 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
- In a food processor, combine all of the ingredients except the seltzer and canola oil and puree until smooth.
- Scrape the batter into a large bowl and let stand for 15 minutes.
- 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.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over moderate heat until very hot.
- Brush with oil.
- 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.
- Flip the blini and cook for 30 seconds longer.
- Transfer the blini to a baking sheet.
- Brush the skillet with oil as needed and repeat with the remaining batter, layering the cooked blini on the baking sheet.
- Serve the blini warm or at room temperature.
