I am wanting a savoury blini recipe and the only one's I can find on the internet are made with buckwheat. If I use the sweet recipe and leave the sugar out will they be alright or does anyone have a recipe for savoury one's?

Chickpea flour-besan (Indian store), water ,olive oil. Mix to a batter and let rest for an hour. They are mini Russian pancakes.
You can also add yeast or egg white whipped to make lighter. Or various herbs in the batter. Try with pureed spinach in batter for green blins. Or Curry-tumeric for yellow, or Smoked paprika and a little tomato paste for red blins.
Blini freeze well. Make extra. Topping can be made well in advance as well. Put together in minutes on a gorgeous big platter, banana leaves, or chopping boards.
The toppings from the links are great. (My guests say so).

This recipe makes 30 2 c flour. 1/2 tsp salt. 1 tsp baking powder. 1 c milk. 2 eggs. 2 tsp cream of tartar. 1 tbsp finely chopped parsley. Beat eggs . Add milk, better yet, use buttermilk or milk soured with lemon juice( set aside 20 mins) Add sifted dry ingredients, stir till just combined,don't over stir and don't stir again while cooking blinis. Cook the usual way. Have made these and folk loved them.

Blini are savoury aren't they? The buckwheat ones are more traditional than the ones we can buy here
