Buckwheat Blinis

Directions

Ingredients :

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

¼ cup sour cream

½ cup heavy cream

½ teaspoon salt

1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour

Methods :

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.

Stir in the eggs, sour cream, heavy cream, salt, and flour until a batter forms. Cover again, and let rise for 2 hours.

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.
