In the Russian tradition, blini symbolize the sun and take center stage at Maslenitsa—also known as Butter Week, Pancake Week, or Cheesefare Week—a spring festival marking the end of winter. In a large bowl, whisk together the buckwheat flour with the all-purpose flour, salt, and instant yeast. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk, mixing until the batter is smooth.

Cover the bowl and let the batter rise until doubled, about 1 hour. Stir into the batter the cooled, melted butter and the egg yolk. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg white until stiff but not dry. Fold the whisked egg white into the batter. Cover the bowl and let the batter stand 20 minutes. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Drop quarter-sized dollops of dough into a pan being careful not to overcrowd it.

Cook for about 1 minute or until bubbles form. Turn and cook for about 30 additional seconds. Remove the finished blini onto a plate and cover them with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm. Repeat the frying process with the remaining batter.

Considered a gluten-free flour, you can make this recipe using half of buckwheat flour and half of any gluten-free flour mix of your liking for texture—you need one and one-quarter cup total—but be aware that most commercially produced flours might have been exposed to cross-contamination. Sometimes, buckwheat flour is mixed with wheat flour as a filler. Top with the classic smoked salmon, sour cream, fresh dill, and lemon wedges. Use sour cream as the base for a small dollop of caviar.

Add smoked or pickled fish and top with a spritz of olive oil and fresh herbs. Use any egg salad of your liking. Top with whipped cream and fresh fruit such as berries or peaches. Add seasoned ricotta or mascarpone and a rolled slice of prosciutto. Top with crème fraîche and pickled onions. Use fruit preserves, chocolate spreads, or caramel sauce to make a sweet version.
