Ingredients
For the blini
- 100 g | 3.5oz buckwheat or wholegrain spelt flour
- 150 g | 5.3oz self-raising flour
- 1 tbsp polenta (optional)
- 2 large eggs , separated
- 300 ml | 10 fl oz whole milk
- 50 g | 2oz butter , melted
- 1 tsp salt
For the topping
- 300 g | 10oz smoked salmon
- 2 tbsp horseradish sauce
- 150 g | 5.3oz sour cream
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 200 g | 7oz raw beetroot , cut into matchsticks (I used candy cane beetroot)
- 2 large handfuls wild rocket leaves
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
Instructions
- Melt the butter in the microwave or in a saucepan and set aside. Separate the eggs and whisk the egg whites till you have soft peaks and set aside.
- Sift the flours, salt and polenta in a large bowl. Add the egg yolks and mix them in.
- Gradually add the milk and 1 tbsp melted butter and mix with a hand whisk until you have a smooth batter.
- Fold the egg whites in. Pour enough melted butter to cover a 23cm (9in) frying pan. Once the butter is gently sizzling pour in half of the pancake batter and swirl until it covers the whole pan.
- Cook over medium heat until bubbles appear on the surface and the pancake is almost set on top.
- Invert the pancake onto a plate and then slide it back into the pan uncooked side down. Cook for a further couple of minutes then transfer onto a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the rest of the batter.
- Slice the blini into eights but keep together. Top with the smoked salmon and beetroot. Drizzle with the horseradish sauce and scatter the rocket leaves on top.
- Season with freshly ground pepper and serve. Notes: make the blin in advance and keep in the fridge, covered with clingfilm for up to a day. Reheat slightly before serving.
