Ingredients
For the blinis
- 1 cup plain flour
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon fast-action dry yeast
- 2 tablespoon Creme Fraiche (or double/heavy cream)
- ½ cup milk
- a pinch of salt
For the topping
- ½ cup Creme Fraiche
- 2 tablespoon lemon juice
- 100 g smoked salmon
- fresh dill to garnish
- butter or oil to fry
Instructions
- To make the blinis, separate the egg yolk from the egg white.
- In a bowl, beat the egg white until it forms stiff peaks and set aside.
- Warm up the milk (but not hot), add the yeast, and set aside for about 10 minutes, so that the yeast can be activated, this will become frothy.
- In a large bowl, add the flour, salt, egg yolk and milk with yeast, and mix well to get a batter.
- Gently fold in the egg whites and creme fraiche to get a smooth batter that has the consistency of a thicker pancake batter.
- Heat up a frying pan over a low heat, add a bit of oil or butter, then about one tablespoon of batter at a time, and cook for about a minute on each side, just the way you would cook a pancake.
- Repeat until you finish up the batter.
- To assemble, spread creme fraiche over each blini, top with smoked salmon, and drizzle a bit of lemon juice over.
- Garnish with fresh dill.
