Ingredients
- All purpose Flour 1 cup
- Milk 1 cup
- 1 Egg
- Active dry yeast 1 teaspoon
- Smoked salmon 4 oz
- Sour cream ½ cup
- Caviar 2 tablespoons
- Chives or dill for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: In a bowl, mix flour, yeast, and a pinch of salt. Gradually whisk in warm milk and the egg until smooth. Cover the bowl with a cloth and let the batter rest in a warm place for 30 minutes. This allows the yeast to activate, making the blinis light and airy.
- Cook the blinis: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil. Pour small dollops of batter onto the pan, spreading each to about 3 inches in diameter. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden.
- Assemble the dish: Once the blinis are ready, let them cool slightly. Spread a thin layer of sour cream on each blini, top with a slice of smoked salmon, and finish with a dollop of caviar. Garnish with finely chopped chives or dill.
- Serve and enjoy: Arrange the blinis on a platter and serve immediately. To enhance the flavors, offer lemon wedges and a drizzle of olive oil on the side. For a more indulgent touch, pair the dish with champagne or chilled vodka.
