Provided by Jenn Louis

Categories     appetizer

Time 2h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup whole milk
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup buckwheat flour
4 teaspoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
4 ounces crème fraîche
4 ounces smoked salmon
2 ounces caviar of your choice
minced chives

Steps:

  • Place milk and 3 tablespoons butter in small saucepan. Stir over low heat just until butter melts. Meanwhile, whisk together both flours, sugar, salt, and yeast in a medium bowl. Pour warm milk mixture into dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature until doubled in volume, 1½-1¾ hours.
  • After resting, batter will be bubbly and lofty. Whisk to deflate; then stir in beaten eggs just to incorporate-the texture should be silky. Meanwhile, set a skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of butter. Working in batches, pour 2 tablespoons batter for each blini onto skillet, spacing apart. Cook until bubbles form on top and they begin to pop, about 1½ minutes. Turn blinis; cook until golden brown on bottom, another 1½ minutes (add more butter to the pan as you need it). Transfer blinis to a serving platter. Tent with foil to keep warm while you cook remaining blinis. Makes approximately 12 blinis.
  • Assembly: Serve blinis with a dollop of crème fraîche, smoked salmon, and caviar-the more the better!

1/4 teaspoon (generous) salt
1 cup whole milk
3 tablespoons butter, cut into cubes
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
Melted butter
Crème fraîche
1 (4-ounce) package thinly sliced smoked salmon
Salmon roe
Fresh dill sprigs

Steps:

  • Whisk first 5 ingredients in medium bowl.
  • Place milk and butter in small saucepan. Stir over low heat until butter melts and thermometer registers 110°F (if mixture gets too warm, cool until temperature returns to 110°F).

  • Whisk buckwheat batter to deflate; then whisk in eggs. Do ahead Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Transfer to large bowl. Cover; chill (may increase in volume; rewhisk before using).
  • Preheat oven to 200°F. Heat griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Brush lightly with melted butter. Working in batches, pour 2 tablespoons batter for each blini onto griddle, spacing apart. Cook until bubbles form on top and begin to pop, about 1 1/2 minutes. Turn blinis; cook until golden brown on bottom, about 1 1/2 minutes. Transfer to baking sheet. Tent with foil and place in oven to keep warm while cooking remaining blinis. Do ahead Blinis can be made 1 day ahead. Cool, cover, and chill. Brush blinis lightly with melted butter and rewarm on baking sheet in 350°F oven 5 minutes.
  • Arrange warm blinis on platter. Spoon 1 rounded teaspoon crème fraîche atop each. Top with smoked salmon. Garnish with salmon roe and dill sprigs and serve.

Tips:

  • Make sure your blinis are cooked all the way through. The center should be firm and cooked through, but not dry.
  • To make sure your blinis are golden brown, cook them over medium-high heat. If the heat is too low, they will not brown properly.
  • If you don't have a blinis pan, you can use a regular frying pan. Just make sure to grease the pan well so that the blinis don't stick.
  • To make the blinis ahead of time, cook them according to the recipe and then let them cool completely. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • To reheat the blinis, simply warm them up in a toaster oven or on a griddle until they are heated through.
