Ingredients
For Blinis:
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 large egg (beaten)
¾ cup milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
Toppings:
8 ounces smoked salmon (thinly sliced)
1 cup crème fraîche (or sour cream)
2 tablespoons fresh dill (finely chopped)
1 small red onion (finely chopped)
1 tablespoon capers (drained)
1 lemon (cut into wedges)
Ground black pepper (to taste)
Instructions
1️⃣ In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add in the beaten egg and milk, whisking continuously until you have a smooth batter. Stir in the melted butter. 🥄
2️⃣ Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add a small knob of butter. Once melted, drop tablespoons of the batter into the pan, ensuring you don’t overcrowd. Cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side or until the blinis are golden brown. Remove and set on a plate covered with a kitchen towel to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter. 🍳
3️⃣ In a small bowl, combine the crème fraîche with half of the chopped dill. 🌿
4️⃣ Spread a small amount of the crème fraîche mixture onto each blini. Place a slice of smoked salmon on top. Garnish with the remaining dill, chopped red onion, and a few capers. Add a twist of black pepper on top. 🍣
5️⃣ Arrange the blinis on a serving platter with lemon wedges on the side. Encourage guests to give a light squeeze of lemon juice over their blini for an extra zing. 🍋
