Ingredients

1 8.5-ounce box corn muffin mix
1/2 cup milk
1 large egg, beaten
Olive oil, for shallow frying (about cup)
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
18 seedless green grapes, halved
Honey, for drizzling

Directions

Whisk the muffin mix, milk and egg together until smooth.

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1/4 inch of oil to the pan and heat until shimmering. Working in batches, drop teaspoons of batter into the oil to make small pancakes, about 1 1/2 inches wide. Cook until bubbles appear on the tops and the bottoms are golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and finish cooking, about 1 more minute.

Top each blini with ricotta and a grape half. Drizzle with honey and serve warm.

Good, but guess I need to practice the blini part...
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I thought these were a little off, but my girlfriends all died over them at our dinner party last night. I had a lot of... trouble with the blinis. I know everyone's stoves are different, but medium was entirely too high - they were scorched and had a weird texture. I ruined the whole first batch of mix and it took me until maybe the last 5 blinis of the second batch to get them sort of decent! And that was taking the temp down to low instead of medium. The photo of them shows more of a pancake texture and color, but mine were much more like crispy cornbread muffins. I saved the best ones out and topped them with a ricotta/honey mixture, a raspberry and then drizzled with honey. Like I said, girlfriends loved them anyway!Read more

Unexpectedly declicious!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This were so easy to make, but wowed everyone at my party. I used whole milk ricotta after smoothing it out in the food... processor and cherries instead of grapes, since I had those already in the fridge (and left out the honey). I would recommend to let the blini cool just a bit so your cheese doesn't melt off.Read more

Rated: 4 stars out of 5

this was pretty good ..i followed the receipe the first time, but when we make it again, i will substitute the riccotta for... cream cheese mixed with powdered sugar and top strawberries, blueberries, etc sfor more color and different flavors. My 5 year old loved them!Read more
