Best Blini With Smoked Salmon Recipes

SMOKED SALMON BLINIS

Steps:

• 1. For the blinis, place the flour and a pinch of sea salt in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the centre, crack in the egg and add 1 tablespoon of oil, then beat into the flour. Gradually whisk in the milk until you've got a lovely, smooth batter.
• 2. Put a large non-stick frying pan on a medium heat and add 1 small knob of butter. 3. Once hot and the butter's melted, add tablespoons of batter to the pan to make your blinis. Cook for 1 minute on each side, flipping over when they turn golden on the bottom and get little bubbles on top. 4. The first batch always helps you figure out your temperature control, so adjust it up or down if needed. 5. Transfer the cooked blinis to a plate, and continue with the remaining batter until it's all used up. Top with your favourite combos, season to perfection and enjoy.

BLINIS WITH SMOKED SALMON AND CAVIAR

Steps:

• Place milk and 3 tablespoons butter in small saucepan. Stir over low heat just until butter melts. Meanwhile, whisk together both flours, sugar, salt, and yeast in a medium bowl. Pour warm milk mixture into dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature until doubled in volume, 1½-1¾ hours.
• After resting, batter will be bubbly and lofty. Whisk to deflate; then stir in beaten eggs just to incorporate-the texture should be silky. Meanwhile, set a skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of butter. Working in batches, pour 2 tablespoons batter for each blini onto skillet, spacing apart. Cook until bubbles form on top and they begin to pop, about 1½ minutes. Turn blinis; cook until golden brown on bottom, another 1½ minutes (add more butter to the pan as you need it). Transfer blinis to a serving platter. Tent with foil to keep warm while you cook remaining blinis. Makes approximately 12 blinis.
• Assembly: Serve blinis with a dollop of crème fraîche, smoked salmon, and caviar-the more the better!
