Cook the Blini
In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter over medium heat. Pour in about 2 tablespoons of batter for each blini, cooking until bubbles form on the surface (about 2 minutes). Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat the process until all the batter is used, adding more butter as needed.
