TINY PANCAKES FOR CAVIAR
Eating caviar in a restaurant or supplying it for a group of people is extravagant to the point of recklessness. Buying a small tin and demolishing it entirely yourself is hedonistic heaven. I love these pancakes with caviar. Unlike regular blini, they do not need yeast, so they take only a few minutes to rustle up. I think of them as potato pancakes, but actually they use only a little potato starch, not real potatoes. They are very plain and not enormously potatoey, but they are the best carrier imaginable for anything salty. (Try them with sour cream and lox.)

Steps:
- In mixing bowl, combine potato starch, flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda. In separate bowl, mix buttermilk, egg and 1 tablespoon melted butter. Pour wet ingredients into dry, and whisk into a batter.
- Place a griddle or skillet over medium heat, and brush with melted butter. When griddle is hot, spoon scant tablespoons of batter onto it, about 2 inches apart. After a few minutes pancakes will rise. There will not be many bubbles on the surface. When bottoms are set and golden brown, flip them over, and cook until the other side is golden brown. Serve with caviar and sour cream. Pancakes may be frozen.

POTATO PIKELETS WITH MUSHROOM "CAVIAR" RECIPE
Provided by Grammie926
Number Of Ingredients 18
Steps:
- 1 To make pikelets, stir flour with baking powder and salt in a small bowl. In a medium bowl, break up mashed potatoes; whisk in egg and water. When combined, stir in fl our mixture and parsley. Batter has a thin pancake consistency; if too thick add a bit more water. 2 Make pikelets in batches of 4 as they only take a couple of minutes to cook. Heat 1 tbsp (15 mL) of oil in a medium frying pan, preferably cast iron, over medium heat until very hot but not smoking. (Add additional oil as needed.) Spoon teaspoonfuls of batter into hot oil; they should sizzle. Check bottoms after a minute; turn when browned for another minute. Drain on paper towels. Cover and refrigerate until needed, up to 2 days. 3 Coarsely cut up mushrooms; place in food processor with salt. Pulse several times until finely chopped but visible pieces remain. Turn into a small sieve to drain; loosely cover with plastic wrap. After 30 minutes, gently plunge your fist on top of plastic into mushrooms, forcing mushrooms to sieve's side to drive out more liquid. When they look very dry, turn into a small bowl. Stir in oil, juice, parsley and pepper. Cover and refrigerate up to half a day. 4 When ready to serve, preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place pikelets in a single layer on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake 5 minutes or until hot. Top with a measure of mushroom mixture, a dab of sour cream and a sprinkling of green onions. Serve right away.

Steps:
- Beat together the milk and the eggs. Stir in the salt and the sugar and mix well. Add the baking soda and citric acid.
- Blend in the flour. Add the vegetable oil and pour in the boiling water, stirring constantly. The batter should be very thin, almost watery. Set the bowl aside and let it rest for 20 minutes.
- Melt a tablespoon of butter in a small frying pan over medium-high heat. Pick the pan up off the heat. Pour in a ladleful of batter while you rotate your wrist, tilting the pan so the batter makes a circle and coats the bottom. The blini should be very thin.
- Return the pan to the heat. Cook the blini for 90 seconds. Carefully lift up an edge of the blini to see if it's fully cooked: the edges will be golden and it should have brown spots on the surface. Flip the blini over and cook the other side for 1 minute.
- Transfer the blini to a plate lined with a clean kitchen towel. Continue cooking the blini, adding an additional tablespoon of butter to the pan after each 4 blini. Stack them on top of each other and cover with the kitchen towel to keep warm.
- Spread your favorite filling in the center of the blini, and fold three times to make a triangle shape. You can also fold up all 4 sides, like a small burrito.

SCALLOPS WITH POTATO PANCAKES WITH CAVIAR SAUCE
Recipe by Vinny Dotolo and Jon Shook. Vinny Dotolo found inspiration for this elegant dish by thinking about New Year's Eve classics. Both Champagne and caviar flavor the butter sauce that he spoons over seared scallops set on mini potato pancakes F&W Magazine, Januaey 2010 edition. From: Dinner Party for a New Decade.:) Lovely! Wine Pairing: Just as Champagne pairs well with caviar, so does sparkling Vouvray, which is a bit richer and fruitier. Two to try with these scallops in caviar sauce are the bright NV François Pinon Vouvray Brut and the lightly herbal NV Champalou Vouvray Pétillant Brut.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your pancakes will taste. If possible, use organic or local ingredients.
- Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter will make your pancakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a Nonstick Pan: A nonstick pan will help prevent your pancakes from sticking. If you don't have a nonstick pan, you can grease a regular pan with butter or oil.
- Cook the Pancakes Over Medium Heat: Medium heat will help your pancakes cook evenly without burning.
- Flip the Pancakes Only Once: Once the pancakes start to bubble around the edges, it's time to flip them. Don't flip them too early or they will fall apart.
- Serve the Pancakes Immediately: Pancakes are best served hot off the griddle. Top them with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
