SWEET POTATO BLINIS WITH CURED SALMON, CREME FRAICHE, AND CAVIAR
Steps:
- Place prepared sweet potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with water. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, and cook until the potatoes are tender and can be mashed easily with a fork. Drain well and return to the saucepan. Add the honey and 4 tablespoons of the butter and mash until smooth. If possible, puree this mixture in food mill. In a small bowl, combine the milk and eggs and stir in the sweet potato puree. In another bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt and cayenne. Add the dry ingredients to the sweet potatoes and stir until just blended.
- Melt the remaining butter and reserve. Heat non-stick skillets over medium-heat and coat with some of melted butter. Drop sweet potato mixture into skillets in 1 1/2-tablespoon amounts. Turn once, cooking until golden and crisp, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to a large baking sheet. Repeat the process with the remaining butter and batter. The pancakes can stand at room temperature for 2 hours. Reheat in a 325 degree F. oven for 5 minutes before serving.
- To serve, arrange 3 blinis on a plate and garnish each with a slice of cured salmon, a dollop of creme fraiche and a small spoonful of caviar.
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.

Steps:
- Place milk and 3 tablespoons butter in small saucepan. Stir over low heat just until butter melts. Meanwhile, whisk together both flours, sugar, salt, and yeast in a medium bowl. Pour warm milk mixture into dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature until doubled in volume, 1½-1¾ hours.
- After resting, batter will be bubbly and lofty. Whisk to deflate; then stir in beaten eggs just to incorporate-the texture should be silky. Meanwhile, set a skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of butter. Working in batches, pour 2 tablespoons batter for each blini onto skillet, spacing apart. Cook until bubbles form on top and they begin to pop, about 1½ minutes. Turn blinis; cook until golden brown on bottom, another 1½ minutes (add more butter to the pan as you need it). Transfer blinis to a serving platter. Tent with foil to keep warm while you cook remaining blinis. Makes approximately 12 blinis.
- Assembly: Serve blinis with a dollop of crème fraîche, smoked salmon, and caviar-the more the better!

- Heat a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot and brush with some of remaining melted butter (if butter browns immediately, lower heat). Working in batches of 4, spoon 1 tablespoon batter into skillet for each blin, then cook, turning over once, until golden on both sides, about 2 minutes.

- We used a heart shape at the wedding and filled it with salmon roe and made a nice design of salmon roe around the border-- one of our colors was orange for the wedding so it looked lovely.
- I've also seen this with small red caviar in the middle in a heart shape with black caviar all around the edges-- gorgeous.

SALMON CAVIAR TORTE
Steps:

- Just before serving, run a thin knife around edge of pan and remove side. Transfer torte to a serving plate and spread caviar over top. Garnish torte with dill sprigs and serve with toast points.
Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
- Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will have a big impact on the final dish. Use the best caviar and salmon you can afford.
- Don't overcook the salmon: Salmon is a delicate fish, so it's important not to overcook it. Cook it just until it's cooked through, but still slightly pink in the center.
- Make the blini ahead of time: The blini can be made up to 2 days ahead of time. Just store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer.
- Assemble the tortes just before serving: The tortes are best served fresh. Assemble them just before you're ready to serve them.
Conclusion:
Caviar and salmon blini tortes are a delicious and elegant appetizer that is perfect for any special occasion. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a little planning, you can create a stunning and memorable dish that your guests will love.
