Categories     Breakfast

Time 30m

Yield 24 blini, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup buckwheat flour (available at health food stores )
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon mustard powder
2/3 cup skim milk
1 1/2 tablespoons snipped chives, plus more for garnish
2 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (1/2 cup)
salt & freshly ground black pepper
2 large egg whites
4 ounces sliced smoked salmon, cut into thin strips
1/4 cup nonfat sour cream

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk the buckwheat flour, baking powder and dry mustard. Whisk in the milk until smooth. Add the 1 1/2 tablespoons of chives and the cheddar and season the batter with salt and pepper.
  • In another bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until firm peaks form. Whisk one-fourth of the whites into the batter. Fold in the remaining whites.
  • Heat a griddle over moderate heat until very hot and spray with vegetable oil spray. Spoon 1-tablespoon mounds of batter onto the griddle and cook until bubbles form around the edges of the blini, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook the blini for about 30 seconds longer.
  • Transfer the blini to a platter and top with the smoked salmon and a dollop of sour cream. Garnish the blini with chives and serve right away.

These blini were a little too eggy for my taste. I think I would prefer a recipe with less eggs.

These blini were perfect for a light breakfast or brunch. They were fluffy and flavorful, and the smoked salmon and crème fraîche were the perfect accompaniments.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my blini turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked them.

I'm not a huge fan of buckwheat, but these blini were surprisingly good. The cheddar and smoked salmon really balanced out the flavor.

These blini were a little too dense for my taste. I think I would prefer a recipe with more baking powder.

Delicious! I used half buckwheat flour and half all-purpose flour, and they turned out great.

I've never worked with buckwheat flour before, but this recipe made it easy. The blini turned out perfect and were the perfect vessel for the smoked salmon and crème fraîche.
