Traditionally some sort of smoked fish or caviar is used to top them, but the important thing here is that blini make a wonderful base that can easily be passed around on a platter at a festive party. What you put on top of them can be customized to your preferred eating choices. Blini are fun to make and taste great, so I hope you enjoy this recipe! Ingredients for the Blini (makes about 24): Mix eggs and flour then add milk, water and butter. Mix all together with a wire whisk until smooth. Place a saute pan over medium/high heat, add butter, olive oil or cooking spray and heat until hot but not smoking. Pour a small amount (about a tablespoon) of batter in the hot pan to form small disks, about the size of a silver dollar. Flip when the batter begin to bubble and the underside is golden. Continue until all the batter is used. Assemble as in the above photo or use your favorite combination of ingredients. Live a vibrant, connected, physically and spiritually nourished life.
