Ingredients

  • 1 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups Plant-based milk
  • 2 tablespoons Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Vegan butter
  • 4 oz Vegan Caviar
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh dill

Instructions

  1. 1In a large bowl, whisk together the 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt until well combined.
  2. 2Gradually whisk in the 1 1/2 cups of plant-based milk and the 2 tablespoons of melted vegan butter until the batter is smooth and there are no lumps.
  3. 3Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat, which is approximately 350°F (175°C).
  4. 4Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each blini. You should be able to fit 2-3 blini at a time depending on your pan size.
  5. 5Cook each blini for 2-3 minutes per side. They are ready to flip when small bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set. Cook until both sides are golden brown.
  6. 6Repeat step 5 with the remaining batter, adding a tiny bit more olive oil to the pan if needed between batches.
  7. 7Serve the blini warm. Top each blini with a small amount of the 4 oz vegan caviar and sprinkle with the 2 tablespoons of fresh dill.
