Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams all-purpose flour
- 50 grams buckwheat flour
- 1 teaspoon instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 200 milliliters whole milk
- 30 grams unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 200 grams smoked salmon
- 150 grams crème fraîche
- 10 grams fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter for frying
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, buckwheat flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.
Gently warm the milk until lukewarm but not hot (about 40°C or 100°F). Add the melted butter and egg to the milk and whisk together.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until a smooth batter forms. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the batter rest in a warm place for about 30 minutes to allow it to rise slightly.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with olive oil or butter.
Drop tablespoon-sized portions of batter onto the skillet to create small pancakes or blinis. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden and puffed. Transfer cooked blinis to a plate and continue with the remaining batter.
To assemble, spread a small dollop of crème fraîche on each blini. Top with a piece of smoked salmon, a few drops of lemon juice, and a sprinkle of fresh dill.
Serve immediately and enjoy as a canapé or appetizer.
