Steps:
- Stir together crème fraîche and 1 tablespoon of the scallions.
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large non-stick skillet over low heat and scrap into a small bowl. Whisk in milk, egg, and 1 teaspoon zest. Add flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt and whisk until smooth.
- Melt half of remaining butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.
- Drop 6 rounded teaspoons of batter into skillet and cook until tiny bubbles form on the surface, edges appear dry, and undersides are golden, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Flip and cook until golden and cooked through, about 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
- Melt remaining 1/2 tablespoon butter in skillet and make 6 more blinis (you will have a little batter left over).
- To serve, top blinis with a small dollop of scallion crème fraîche and some caviar, then sprinkle with remaining lemon zest and scallion.

[email protected]These blini were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add a little more salt and pepper to the batter next time.

[email protected]These blini were a bit too lemony for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of lemon zest in the batter next time. Otherwise, they were good.

[email protected]I'm not a big fan of caviar, so I substituted smoked salmon instead. It was still delicious! The blini were light and fluffy, and the crème fraîche was tangy and creamy. I will definitely be making these again with smoked salmon.
