BUCKWHEAT BLINI WITH CAVIAR



Buckwheat Blini With Caviar image

The holidays present a number of opportunities to splurge, and New Year's Eve is the ultimate night for it. Though it may seem a cliché, the classic combination of blini and caviar is the perfect example - indulgent, elegant and delectable to the extreme. If you are hosting a small crowd for drinks (preferably Champagne or vodka with these), it's all you need to serve, though it also can be a sit-down first course. Preparation is simple: the blini are topped with a dab of crème fraîche, a spoonful of caviar and a drizzle of butter.

Categories     lunch, main course

Time 3h15m

Yield About 60 3-inch blini, 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 package dry active yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
3 cups slightly warm milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup buckwheat flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons melted butter
4 eggs, separated
6 ounces crème fraîche
1/4 pound (1 stick) melted butter, kept warm
At least 125 grams caviar or trout roe
2 tablespoons finely cut chives

Steps:

  • In large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in 1 cup milk. Stir in 1/2 cup all-purpose flour and let stand until bubbly, about 10 minutes.
  • Combine remaining all-purpose flour, the buckwheat flour and salt. Add 2 cups milk to the yeast mixture and gradually whisk in flour-salt mixture until you have a smooth, thick batter. Whisk in melted butter. Cover bowl with plastic wrap. Leave at room temperature and let batter slowly double in size, about 2 to 3 hours. (The batter may remain at room temperature even longer if necessary.) You may also mix batter and refrigerate overnight. Bring to room temperature before proceeding with recipe.
  • When you are ready to cook blini, stir down batter, which will have become quite frothy. Beat egg yolks and whisk into batter. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until stiff. Gently fold egg whites into batter.
  • Spoon batter onto a hot, lightly greased griddle, using a large soup spoon to make blini that are 3 inches in diameter. Cook for about 2 minutes, until bottom is well browned. Flip and cook 1 minute more. (Wait until surface is covered in bubbles before flipping.) Keep warm in a low oven. Serve with a dollop of crème fraîche, a drizzle of butter, a generous spoonful of caviar and a sprinkling of chives.

BLINI WITH THREE CAVIARS



Blini with Three Caviars image

Categories     Milk/Cream     Fish     Gourmet

Yield Serves 18 with blini to spare

Number Of Ingredients 11

a 1/4 -ounce package (2 1/2 teaspoons) active dry yeast
2 1/2 tablespoons sugar
2 cups milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus additional for brushing the griddle
1 cup buckwheat flour (available at natural foods stores and specialty foods shops)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs, separated
3/4 cup well-chilled heavy cream
about 2 cups sour cream as an accompaniment
about 4 ounces each black caviar, golden caviar, and salmon roe

Steps:

  • In a large bowl proof the yeast with 1/2 tablespoon of the sugar in 1/3 cup lukewarm water for 10 minutes, or until it is foamy. Stir in 1 cup of the milk, heated to lukewarm, the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, 2 tablespoons of the butter, and the buckwheat flour, beat the batter for 1 minute, and let it rise, covered with plastic wrap, in a warm place for 2 hours or chill it, covered tightly, overnight. (Chilling overnight produces a tangier flavor. Let the batter come to room temperature before continuing with the recipe.) Stir in the remaining 1 cup milk, heated to lukewarm, the all-purpose flour, the salt, and the yolks, beat the mixture for 1 minute, and let it rise, covered with the plastic wrap, in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it is double in bulk and bubbly. In a bowl beat the cream until it holds soft peaks and fold it into the batter. In a metal bowl beat the egg whites until they just hold stiff peaks and fold them into the batter gently but thoroughly.
  • Heat a griddle or large skillet over moderate heat until it is hot, brush it lightly with the additional melted butter, and spoon tablespoons of the batter onto the griddle, spreading them to form 3-inch rounds. Cook the blini for 1 minute on each side, or until the undersides are golden. Transfer the blini as they are cooked to a platter and keep them warm, covered with a kitchen towel. Make blini with the remaining batter in the same manner, brushing the griddle lightly with the butter as necessary. The blini may be made 2 days in advance and kept covered and chilled. Reheat the blini, covered with foil, in a 350°F. oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until they are warm, or microwave them on a microwave-safe plastic wrap, at high power (100%) for 2 minutes, or until they are warm.
  • Arrange 3 or 4 blini on each of 18 small plates, top them with some of the sour cream, and arrange some of the caviar decoratively on the sour cream.
