Time 20m

Yield About 50 blinis

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 cup buckwheat flour
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup light beer
Salt to taste
Freshly ground pepper to taste
3/4 cup egg whites (about 7 eggs)
4 tablespoons butter
1/4 pound smoked salmon (about 2 to 3 ounces), thinly sliced
1/2 cup creme fraiche or sour cream
Chopped fresh dill, for garnish

Steps:

In a medium-size bowl, combine the flour, oil, beer, salt and pepper. In another bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks are formed. Fold into the first mixture.
Set a large skillet over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter and drop in spoonfuls of the batter, each about the size of a half dollar. (To prevent overcrowding, cook the batter in several batches.)
Cook the first batch of the rounds until they bubble, about 2 minutes. Turn them over and continue cooking until they are nicely browned, about 2 minutes. Remove the blinis and let them cool on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining butter and batter.
Top each blini with a bit of the smoked salmon, then a dollop of the creme fraiche or sour cream. Garnish with the fresh dill.

Time 30m

Yield 24 blini, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

3/4 cup buckwheat flour (available at health food stores )
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon mustard powder
2/3 cup skim milk
1 1/2 tablespoons snipped chives, plus more for garnish
2 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (1/2 cup)
salt & freshly ground black pepper
2 large egg whites
4 ounces sliced smoked salmon, cut into thin strips
1/4 cup nonfat sour cream

Steps:

In a medium bowl, whisk the buckwheat flour, baking powder and dry mustard. Whisk in the milk until smooth. Add the 1 1/2 tablespoons of chives and the cheddar and season the batter with salt and pepper.
In another bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until firm peaks form. Whisk one-fourth of the whites into the batter. Fold in the remaining whites.
Heat a griddle over moderate heat until very hot and spray with vegetable oil spray. Spoon 1-tablespoon mounds of batter onto the griddle and cook until bubbles form around the edges of the blini, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook the blini for about 30 seconds longer.
Transfer the blini to a platter and top with the smoked salmon and a dollop of sour cream. Garnish the blini with chives and serve right away.
