BUCKWHEAT OR CORNMEAL BLINI WITH RADISH TOPPING

Buckwheat or Cornmeal Blini With Radish Topping image

In Russia, this topping traditionally is made with cream cheese and served on black bread canapés. I use labne - drained yogurt - in this version and love the results. This topping also makes a nice snack by itself.
