Buckwheat Blini image

These savories were originally crumbly pancakes with a strong buckwheaty, yeasty flavor. Nowadays, they're more cohesive, subtle, and sophisticated. Served with spoonfuls of creme fraiche and sevruga caviar, blini make wonderful hors d'oeuvres alongside glasses of chilled vodka.

Yield Makes 30

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 envelope (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water (110 degrees)
1/2 cup buckwheat flour
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
3/4 cup plain yogurt
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon sugar
2 large eggs, separated
1 to 3 ounces caviar, such as sevruga, for serving
Creme fraiche, for serving

Steps:

  • Sprinkle yeast over warm water in a small bowl; let stand until foamy, about 7 minutes. Sift together flours and salt. Stir together yogurt, butter, sugar, and yolks in a large bowl; whisk in yeast mixture and flour mixture. Let batter stand, covered, in a warm place, 30 minutes.
  • Beat whites until stiff peaks form; fold whites into batter. Let stand 10 minutes.
  • Heat a 12-inch nonstick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon batter; cook blini 3 or 4 at a time, flipping once, until golden, 2 minutes per side. Serve with caviar and creme fraiche.

These blini were a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would have preferred a lighter batter.

These blini were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would have added a little more milk to the batter.

These buckwheat blini were a hit at my brunch party! They were light and fluffy, with a slightly tangy flavor. I topped them with smoked salmon, crème fraîche, and chives, and they were absolutely delicious.
