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.

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.

BUCKWHEAT BLINI



Buckwheat Blini image

Blini go well with savory toppings liked smoked fish, and of course with caviar. A simple, elegant accompaniment would be smoked salmon (about 1/2 pound for one batch of blini), drained yogurt or reduced-fat sour cream, and salmon roe.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h

Yield About 20 pancake-sized blini

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 teaspoon active dry yeast
1/2 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons lukewarm water
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons lukewarm 1 percent or 2 percent milk
1 cup buckwheat flour
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup buttermilk or plain yogurt
2 tablespoons canola oil or melted butter
2 large eggs, separated

Steps:

  • Dissolve the yeast and sugar in the water in a large bowl. Stir in the lukewarm milk, and let stand for five minutes until creamy.
  • Sift together the flours and salt into a medium bowl. Whisk into the yeast mixture. Whisk in the buttermilk or yogurt, the oil or melted butter, and the egg yolks. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap, and set aside to rise in a warm spot for one hour or longer until bubbly.
  • Beat the egg whites to soft peaks. Fold them into the batter. Cover again, and allow to rise for another 30 minutes until bubbly.
  • Lightly grease a heavy nonstick or cast iron griddle, and heat over medium heat until hot. For bite-size blini that you can pass as hors d'oeuvres, ladle on 1 to 2 tablespoons of batter for each silver-dollar-size blini. For larger, pancake-sized blini, ladle on about 1/4 scant cup per blini. Cook until holes break through the upper side, about a minute. Turn and brown on the other side for about 30 seconds. Remove to a rack or a plate. If serving right away, wrap them in a towel or place them in a low oven to keep warm. If not serving right away, wrap them in foil and reheat them for about 20 minutes in a 325-degree oven. To freeze, stack them between pieces of parchment or wax paper, and wrap them airtight in plastic, then foil. To thaw, remove them from the plastic, rewrap them in foil, and place them in a 350-degree oven for 30 minutes. Alternately, remove the foil and thaw them in a microwave oven.

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.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any mishaps.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your blini will taste. If possible, use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your blini tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the batter rest: Allowing the batter to rest for 30 minutes before cooking will help it develop a better flavor and texture.
  • Cook the blini over medium heat: Cooking the blini over medium heat will help them cook evenly without burning.
  • Serve the blini immediately: Blini are best served immediately after they are cooked. If you need to make them ahead of time, you can store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Buckwheat blini with caviar is a delicious and elegant appetizer that is perfect for any special occasion.
