BLINI WITH SMOKED SALMON
Steps:
- Combine both flours, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and 1 tablespoon of the clarified butter, then whisk into the flour mixture. Heat 1 tablespoon of the clarified butter in a medium saute pan and drop the batter into the hot skillet, 1 tablespoon at a time. Cook over medium-low heat until bubbles form on the top side of the blini, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook for 1 more minute, or until brown. Repeat with the remaining batter. (I clean the hot pan with a dry paper towel between batches.) Set aside.
- To serve, top the blini with a piece of smoked salmon. Add a dollop of creme fraiche and a sprig of dill.
BLINIS WITH CREME FRAICHE AND SMOKED SALMON
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the blinis on a sheet pan covered with parchment paper and heat in the oven for 5 minutes. Allow to cool.
- Top each blini with a piece of smoked salmon. Add a dollop of creme fraiche and a sprig of dill.
SMOKED SALMON ON BUCKWHEAT BLINIS
Steps:
- In a medium-size bowl, combine the flour, oil, beer, salt and pepper. In another bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks are formed. Fold into the first mixture.
- Set a large skillet over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter and drop in spoonfuls of the batter, each about the size of a half dollar. (To prevent overcrowding, cook the batter in several batches.)
- Cook the first batch of the rounds until they bubble, about 2 minutes. Turn them over and continue cooking until they are nicely browned, about 2 minutes. Remove the blinis and let them cool on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining butter and batter.
- Top each blini with a bit of the smoked salmon, then a dollop of the creme fraiche or sour cream. Garnish with the fresh dill.
