Buckwheat Blini Pancakes
About this recipe:
These small traditional drop scones made with Buckwheat Flour are often served as canapés with sour cream and other toppings. Larger blinis are also delicious served with fruit purée or chocolate sauce. These small blinis can be frozen if not required immediately.
Equipment:
large frying pan and 2 x mixing bowls
Ingredients:
75g Doves Farm Organic Wholemeal Buckwheat Flour
1 tsp Doves Farm Baking Powder
pinch of salt, optional
1 egg
150ml milk
oil, for frying
Method:
- Put the flour, baking powder and salt if used into a bowl, stir to combine and sieve into a mixing bowl or jug.
- Add the egg and half the milk and beat into a smooth paste.
- Beat in the remaining milk.
- Put a little oil into a large frying pan, roll it around to cover the surface and heat until the pan is nice and hot.
- Drop teaspoons of batter onto the pan to make small blinis.
- When bubbles appear on the surface of the blinis and the base is golden, turn them over and cook the other side. Transfer cooked blinis to a cooling rack.
- Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Wrap and store cold blinis in the fridge or freeze for another day.
Incredibly easy, work every time and freeze really well! We now keep a constant supply in the freezer for easy entertaining. I usually pop them straight from the freezer into a warm oven for a few mins. Also nice instead of GF toast with a salmon & egg brunch.

Very easy to make and taste good. However, I didn't manage to make them into neat circles, despite being a very experienced at making pankakes. Each tiny pancake was unique shape. I'll freeze them for Christmas!

I had tried several blini recipes, but this was the best. So easy to make, froze really well and they were light and delicious. I will be making these again and again...

Lovely and light. I had tried making buckwheat pancakes before with a different brand flour and they did not taste good. I was then put off buckwheat thinking that was how it tasted. I decided to try again with Doves Farm buckwheat as I have had success with other recipes using the spelt flour. A completely different experience with buckwheat this time. I used tablespoons of the mixture as the teaspoon-sized blinis were very tiny. Delicious and easy. Thank you!

Needs a pinch of salt but otherwise a lovely light lunch when topped

There is no gluten in buckwheat - it's a totally different family of plant, and is not even a grain.

since the gluten free buckwheat flour contains gluten is it possible to do these with the gluten free plain or self rasing flour ?

These work really well both as 'canape' style and larger breakfast style blinis - a real boon for the gluten intolerant. If you use a hand held mixer, and mix the eggs and batter well - you can even miss out the baking powder (I forgot to add it this morning!).
