Yield Makes 24 pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 cup buckwheat pancake mix (we like the unsweetened organic one from Whole Foods, but you can use any unsweetened kind and follow the package instructions for all pancake ingredients, using an egg if called for)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 egg
1 tablespoon melted butter or vegetable oil
2/3 cup milk (any fat content) or water
Black caviar (our favorite is paddlefish)
Crème fraîche
Chives, snipped
Smoked salmon (optional)
Minced red onion (optional)

Steps:

1. Combine the pancake mix with the salt, egg, butter or oil, and milk or water.
2. Lightly brush another tablespoon of melted butter onto a skillet over medium-high heat.
3. When the skillet is hot, spoon the batter into it a tablespoon at a time.
4. Cook the blinis until tiny bubbles appear, about 1 minute, then flip them and fry until golden brown on each side.
5. Transfer the blinis to a platter and serve warm with the caviar, crème fraîche, chives, and smoked salmon and onion (if desired).

Ingredients

1/3 cup crème fraîche or sour cream
2 tablespoons very thinly sliced scallions, divided

Stir together crème fraîche and 1 tablespoon of the scallions.
Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large non-stick skillet over low heat and scrap into a small bowl. Whisk in milk, egg, and 1 teaspoon zest. Add flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt and whisk until smooth.
Melt half of remaining butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.
Drop 6 rounded teaspoons of batter into skillet and cook until tiny bubbles form on the surface, edges appear dry, and undersides are golden, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Flip and cook until golden and cooked through, about 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
Melt remaining 1/2 tablespoon butter in skillet and make 6 more blinis (you will have a little batter left over).

9 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons whipping cream
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

Beat egg whites at medium speed with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Whisk egg yolks until thickened. Pour oil to depth of 1/2 inch in a large heavy skillet; heat to 350°. Drop egg whites by teaspoonfuls into hot oil; fry, in batches, 1 to 2 minutes on each side or until golden. Drain on paper towels. Serve immediately with creme fraiche and caviar.

Choose High-Quality Ingredients: Use the best quality caviar and blini ingredients you can find. This will make a big difference in the taste of your dish.
Make the Blini Ahead of Time: Blini can be made up to a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator. This will save you time on the day you're serving them.
Use a Variety of Toppings: In addition to caviar, you can also top your blini with other ingredients such as smoked salmon, crème fraîche, red onion, and capers.
Serve Immediately: Blini are best served immediately after they are made. This will ensure that they are crispy and warm.
