Blini Pancakes
These blini are light, airy pancakes made with a blend of buckwheat and all-purpose flours, leavened with yeast. The batter gets a double rise, first as a simple mix, then again after being enriched with melted butter and an egg yolk, and finally lightened with a whipped egg white. Cook them in a hot skillet until they're golden and bubbly, then serve warm.
