    Combine both flours, baking powder and salt in a bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg and butter, and then whisk into the flour mixture. Heat a nonstick pan over a medium heat and fry tablespoonfuls of batter for about 2 minutes until bubbles form on the top side of the blini. Flip and cook for a further minute or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter. Set aside.
