Buckwheat blini with smoked salmon

Cooking Fish Buckwheat blini with smoked salmon

Finger food for a special occasion is made simple with these special little blinis that have a smoked salmon and creme fraiche topping.

  1. Place milk and 30g butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Heat for 2 minutes or until butter just melts and mixture is warm. Remove from heat.
  2. Combine flours, yeast, sugar and salt in a bowl. Make a well in the centre. Lightly beat egg yolks and add to flour mixture. Gradually add warmed milk mixture, whisking constantly to form a smooth, thick batter. Cover and stand in a warm place for 1 hour or until mixture has doubled in size.
  3. Using electric beaters, beat eggwhites until firm peaks form. Gently fold through flour mixture. Melt remaining 30g butter in a microwave-safe bowl on MEDIUM (50%) for 50 to 60 seconds. Heat a large, non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Brush pan with a little of the melted butter. Using 1 tablespoon of batter per blini, cook blini in batches for 1 minute each side or until golden and just cooked through. Remove to a clean tea towel. Wrap to keep warm.
  4. Combine creme fraiche, horseradish cream and dill in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Place blini on a serving tray. Spoon 1 teaspoon of mixture onto each. Top with salmon. Serve.
