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.

BLINI WITH SMOKED HERRING TOPPING

Herring is a classic accompaniment for blini. A fish high in omega-3 fats, herring is sold both pickled and smoked. I use canned smoked herring for this topping. If you've never tasted herring preserved this way, you're in for a treat.

2 teaspoons finely chopped dill
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup drained yogurt
1 batch buckwheat or cornmeal blini

Steps:

  • Crumble the smoked herring into a bowl. Add the celery, dill, lemon juice and yogurt. Stir together. The herring should be finely flaked, like canned tuna. Season with freshly ground pepper.
