Vegan Russian Pancakes (Blini)

Ingredients

• 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
• 1.5 cups Plant-Based Milk
• 1 tsp Baking Powder
• 1 tbsp Sugar
• 0.25 tsp Salt
• 2 tbsp Vegan Butter
• 1 tbsp Flaxseed Meal
• 3 tbsp Water

Instructions

1. 1In a small bowl, combine the 1 tablespoon of Flaxseed Meal with the 3 tablespoons of Water. Stir well and set aside for 5 minutes to thicken into a gel.
2. 2In a large bowl, whisk together the 1 cup of All-Purpose Flour, 1 teaspoon of Baking Powder, 1 tablespoon of Sugar, and 0.25 teaspoon of Salt until well combined.
3. 3Add the 1.5 cups of Plant-Based Milk, the 2 tablespoons of melted Vegan Butter, and the prepared flaxseed gel to the dry ingredients. Whisk everything together until the batter is smooth and there are no lumps.
4. 4Heat a non-stick griddle or frying pan over medium heat. The pan is ready when a drop of water sizzles and evaporates quickly.
5. 5For each blini, pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle. You can fit 2-3 blini in the pan at a time, depending on its size.
6. 6Cook the blini for 2 to 3 minutes on the first side, until small bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set. Carefully flip the blini and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes on the second side, until both sides are golden brown and cooked through.
7. 7Remove the cooked blini from the pan and serve them immediately with your favorite toppings.
