Ingredients
For Blinis
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg beaten
- ¾ cup milk
- 2 tablespoons butter melted, unsalted
Toppings
- 8 ounces smoked salmon thinly sliced
- 1 cup crème fraîche or sour cream
- 2 tablespoons dill finely chopped, fresh
- 1 small red onion finely chopped
- 1 tablespoons capers drained
- 1 lemon cut into wedges
- black pepper to taste, ground
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add in the beaten egg and milk, whisking continuously until you have a smooth batter. Stir in the melted butter.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add a small knob of butter. Once melted, drop tablespoons of the batter into the pan, ensuring you don't overcrowd. Cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side or until the blinis are golden brown. Remove and set on a plate covered with a kitchen towel to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- In a small bowl, combine the crème fraîche with half of the chopped dill.
- Spread a small amount of the crème fraîche mixture onto each blini. Place a slice of smoked salmon on top. Garnish with the remaining dill, chopped red onion, and a few capers. Add a twist of black pepper on top.
- Arrange the blinis on a serving platter with lemon wedges on the side. Encourage guests to give a light squeeze of lemon juice over their blini for an extra zing.

Notes
- Batter Consistency: If the batter seems too thick, feel free to add a little more milk to reach a pourable consistency. It should be thicker than a pancake batter but still easy to spoon onto the pan.
- Non-Stick Pan: Use a good non-stick pan to cook the blinis. This will help them flip easily and prevent sticking, ensuring perfect golden-brown blinis every time.
- Serving Size: This recipe is perfect for appetizers or small gatherings. Each blini is bite-sized, making them easy to eat in one or two bites.
- Variations: Feel free to experiment with different toppings. Apart from smoked salmon, these blinis pair well with cream cheese and smoked trout or a vegetarian option like sliced avocado and sun-dried tomatoes.
- Make-Ahead Tip: Blinis can be cooked ahead and stored in the refrigerator. Just reheat them in the oven for a few minutes before serving to bring back their warmth and freshness.
- Freezing Instructions: Blinis freeze well. Lay them flat on a baking sheet to freeze, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container. Thaw and reheat in the oven when ready to use.
