Categories     appetizer

Time 35m

Yield 18 pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/3 cup buckwheat flour
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons milk
1 extra-large egg
1/4 pound (1 stick) unsalted butter, clarified, divided
1/2 pound smoked salmon, thinly sliced
1/4 cup creme fraiche or sour cream
Fresh dill sprig, for garnish

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.

Categories     appetizer

Time 20m

Yield About 50 blinis

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup buckwheat flour
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup light beer
Salt to taste
Freshly ground pepper to taste
3/4 cup egg whites (about 7 eggs)
4 tablespoons butter
1/4 pound smoked salmon (about 2 to 3 ounces), thinly sliced
1/2 cup creme fraiche or sour cream
Chopped fresh dill, for garnish

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.

Tips:

1. Mise en place: As with all cooking, having all of your ingredients prepped and measured before you start cooking will make the process go much smoother. 2. Use high-quality smoked salmon: The quality of your smoked salmon will greatly impact the flavor of your blinis, so be sure to use a high-quality product. Look for smoked salmon that is firm and has a deep pink color. 3. Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the blinis tough, so be sure to mix it just until the ingredients are combined. 4. Cook the blinis over medium-low heat: Cooking the blinis over medium-low heat will help to ensure that they cook through without burning. 5. Serve the blinis warm: Blinis are best served warm, so be sure to serve them immediately after they are cooked.
