BLINI WITH SMOKED SALMON
Steps:
- Combine both flours, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and 1 tablespoon of the clarified butter, then whisk into the flour mixture. Heat 1 tablespoon of the clarified butter in a medium saute pan and drop the batter into the hot skillet, 1 tablespoon at a time. Cook over medium-low heat until bubbles form on the top side of the blini, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook for 1 more minute, or until brown. Repeat with the remaining batter. (I clean the hot pan with a dry paper towel between batches.) Set aside.
- To serve, top the blini with a piece of smoked salmon. Add a dollop of creme fraiche and a sprig of dill.
BLINIS WITH CREME FRAICHE AND SMOKED SALMON
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the blinis on a sheet pan covered with parchment paper and heat in the oven for 5 minutes. Allow to cool.
- Top each blini with a piece of smoked salmon. Add a dollop of creme fraiche and a sprig of dill.
SMOKED SALMON ON BUCKWHEAT BLINIS
Steps:
- In a medium-size bowl, combine the flour, oil, beer, salt and pepper. In another bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks are formed. Fold into the first mixture.
- Set a large skillet over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter and drop in spoonfuls of the batter, each about the size of a half dollar. (To prevent overcrowding, cook the batter in several batches.)
- Cook the first batch of the rounds until they bubble, about 2 minutes. Turn them over and continue cooking until they are nicely browned, about 2 minutes. Remove the blinis and let them cool on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining butter and batter.
- Top each blini with a bit of the smoked salmon, then a dollop of the creme fraiche or sour cream. Garnish with the fresh dill.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the tastier your blinis will be. This is especially true for the buckwheat flour, which can become rancid if it's not stored properly.
- Make sure your buckwheat flour is finely ground: This will help the blinis to have a smooth texture. If you don't have finely ground buckwheat flour, you can grind it yourself in a food processor or blender.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the blinis tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Let the batter rest: Letting the batter rest for at least 30 minutes will help the buckwheat flour to absorb the liquid and produce a more flavorful blini.
- Cook the blinis over medium heat: Cooking the blinis over medium heat will help them to cook evenly without burning.
- Serve the blinis warm: Blinis are best served warm, so make sure to keep them warm until you're ready to serve them.
Conclusion:
Buckwheat blinis are a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or dessert. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With their nutty flavor and slightly chewy texture, buckwheat blinis are a great way to enjoy buckwheat flour.
