Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup buckwheat flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 3 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
• 2 medium roasted red bell peppers, diced
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon additional butter or oil for cooking

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, buckwheat flour, baking powder, and kosher salt.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until well combined.

Step 3

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a smooth batter forms. Fold in the thinly sliced green onions. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.

Step 4

While the batter rests, prepare the red pepper relish. In a small bowl, combine the diced roasted red bell peppers, balsamic vinegar, honey, and olive oil. Mix well and set aside.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat with butter or oil.

Step 6

Scoop about 1 tablespoon of batter onto the skillet for each blini, spreading slightly to form small rounds. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until bubbles form on the top and the edges appear set. Flip and cook the other side until golden. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 7

To assemble, top each blini with a small dollop of red pepper relish and a few crumbles of goat cheese.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
