Ingredients
 

Batter

  • 150 g plain flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 eggs (the yolk)
  • 2 eggs (the white)
  • 200 ml milk (lukewarm)
  • 1 tbsp butter (soft)

For the topping:

  • 100 g smoked salmon (Sliced)
  • 100 g crème fraîche
  • dill (fresh, chopped)
  • 1 tsp horseradish paste
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • salmon roe (Garnish)

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a large bowl, mix 150 g plain flour, 1 tsp baking powder, and ½ tsp salt. Add the yolks of 2 eggs, 200 ml milk, and 1 tbsp butter. Stir well until you have a smooth batter.
  • Whip the whites of 2 eggs stiff in a separate bowl and gently fold them into the batter to get an airy mixture. Let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix 100 g crème fraîche with 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp horseradish paste, some dill, and a pinch of salt. Refrigerate until use.

Cooking

  • Heat a little oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Spoon small amounts of batter, about 1 tablespoon per blini, into the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the top sets, flip, and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat until all the batter is used and keep the blinis warm.
  • Spoon a teaspoon of crème fraîche onto each blini and top with a slice of 100 g smoked salmon.
  • Garnish with fresh dill and half a teaspoon of salmon roe.

Notes

Serve the blinis on a beautiful platter. They are perfect as an appetizer, party snack, or even as part of a luxurious brunch. Pair with a glass of white wine.
