Blinis are small pancakes originating from Eastern Europe, commonly used as a base for canapés. Mary Berry’s style focuses on a smooth batter, gentle cooking, and a light texture that holds toppings well without becoming heavy. They are smaller than traditional pancakes and designed to be eaten in one or two bites.

Ingredients

  • Plain flour – 100 g

  • Baking powder – 1 teaspoon

  • Salt – a small pinch

  • Eggs – 2 large, separated

  • Milk – 150 ml

  • Unsalted butter – 25 g, melted (plus extra for cooking)

Instructions

  • Prepare the dry ingredients – Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into a bowl to remove lumps.

  • Mix the wet base – In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the milk and melted butter until smooth.

  • Combine batter – Gradually whisk the wet mixture into the dry ingredients to form a smooth batter.

  • Whisk egg whites – In a clean bowl, whisk the egg whites until they form soft peaks.

  • Fold gently – Carefully fold the egg whites into the batter to keep it light and airy.

  • Heat the pan – Lightly grease a non-stick frying pan and heat over medium-low heat.

  • Cook the blinis – Spoon small rounds of batter into the pan and cook for about 1 minute until bubbles form.

  • Flip carefully – Turn and cook for another 30–40 seconds until lightly golden.

  • Keep warm – Transfer cooked blinis to a plate and cover loosely while finishing the batch.
