Homemade Mini Cocktail Blinis Recipe (no yeast)
A perfectly tender and light cocktail blinis recipe ideal for serving canapes at parties, that you can top them with so many things.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 100 grams (1¼ cups) plain flour /all-purpose flour
- 1 egg (separated)
- 150 ml (⅔ cups) whole milk
- 25 grams (2 tablespoon) unsalted butter
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Measure out your ingredients and separate the egg, taking care not to get any egg yolk into the egg white.
- Brown the butter. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until brown specks appear on the bottom of the pan. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightky.
- Whisk the egg whites in a bowl using an electric hand whisk (or in a stand mixer with the whisk attachment ) until they are white and frothy and form soft peaks.
- Make the blini batter. Sift the flour, salt, and pepper into a mixing bowl, and slowly add the egg yolk and half the milk whilst whisking with a fork to combine. Then, stir in the remaining milk and melted browned butter.
- Fold in the whipped egg whites with a spatula to keep the mixture light and airy.
- Fry teaspoons of blini batter in a lightly greased, non-stick frying pan over medium heat, flipping after 20-30 seconds until a light golden brown on each side.
- Transfer the cooked blinis to a paper towel-lined plate whilst you finish cooking all the batter.
Notes
- Brown butter in a pale-colored pan to keep an eye on the color and remove the pan from the heat before it burns.
- Wipe down the bowl and whisk attachment with a paper towel dipped in white wine vinegar before you whisk the egg whites to make sure there is no residual fat that will cause the meringue to fail.
- Use a teaspoon to measure out the blini batter to get perfectly round bite-sized blinis. It is the ideal size for a canape, which should always be one single bite.
