Buckwheat Blini image

These savories were originally crumbly pancakes with a strong buckwheaty, yeasty flavor. Nowadays, they're more cohesive, subtle, and sophisticated. Served with spoonfuls of creme fraiche and sevruga caviar, blini make wonderful hors d'oeuvres alongside glasses of chilled vodka.

1 envelope (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water (110 degrees)
1/2 cup buckwheat flour
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt

Overall, I was disappointed with these buckwheat blinis. I don't think I'll be making them again.

The blinis were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would have used less butter when cooking them.

The blinis were a bit bland. I think I would have added more salt and pepper to the batter.

These blinis were a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would have preferred a lighter batter.

I'm not a fan of buckwheat, but these blinis were surprisingly good. The nutty flavor was subtle and not overpowering.

These buckwheat blinis are a great way to use up leftover buckwheat flour. They're also a healthier alternative to traditional wheat flour blinis.

I've never made blinis before, but these were surprisingly easy to make. The batter came together quickly and easily, and the blinis cooked up beautifully in my non-stick skillet.

These buckwheat blinis were a hit at my brunch party! They were light and fluffy, with a slightly nutty flavor. I served them with smoked salmon, crème fraîche, and capers, and they were devoured in minutes.
