Gluten-free Blini with Avocado Cream and Salmon
Report
Homemade gluten-free blini (Russian fluffy bite-sized pancakes) are super easy to make, cheaper than store-bought, and oh so much tastier!

Ingredients
- 80 g buckwheat flour
- 1 tablespoon rice flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder (I use gluten-free)
- 150 ml fresh whole milk
- 2 egg whites
- olive oil for greasing
- Sea salt and black pepper
To serve:
- 1 avocado
- 1 tablespoon yogurt
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- 100 g smoked salmon
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
Instructions
- In a large bowl mix together the buckwheat flour, baking powder, a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper and milk until reaching a smooth lump-free batter.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form, then gradually fold the whisked egg whites into the batter mixture, until fully incorporated.
- Grease lightly with olive oil a large frying pan and heat over medium high heat, then spoon a tablespoon of the batter into the pan to make a small bite-sized pancakes, about 3 cm large.
- Cook the pancakes for one minute, then flip them on the other side and cook for a further minute, or until golden on both sides. Remove the pancakes from the pan and keep them warm.
- In a small bowl smash the avocado with a fork until creamy, then add in the yogurt and lime juice, season with sea salt and black pepper to taste and mix until all the ingredients are combined.
- Place one teaspoon of the avocado cream over the gluten-free blini, then top them with smoked salmon, sprinkle the lime zest on top and serve.
Notes
- Time-saving tip: make the batter for these gluten-free blini the night before, cover it with cling film and place in the fridge until you need it, making sure to give it a nice whisk before using it.
- How to freeze blini: simply arrange them on a baking sheet and freeze them for 1 hour, then store them in a zip-lock bag for up to one month.
- Whenever you fancy, simply remove them from the freezer and place them covered in the fridge until needed.
