Step 4: Add the wet mixture into the flour mixture and stir until the batter is fully combined.

Step 5: Heat 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat.

Step 6: Drop the batter by the tablespoon onto the heated skillet, cooking several blini at a time.

Step 8: Flip the blini and cook for about 1 minute more, until golden brown.
