Description

A delightful blend of light blinis, rich smoked salmon, and fresh dill, perfect for brunch or gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 8 oz smoked salmon
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Mix the dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and fresh dill.
  2. Combine the wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until frothy, then melt the butter and let it cool slightly before adding.
  3. Create the batter: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
  4. Heat the skillet: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
  5. Cook the blinis: Pour small amounts of batter into the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook until golden brown.
  6. Assemble: Once cooked, stack the blinis on a plate and layer with slices of smoked salmon and crème fraîche.
  7. Garnish and serve: Finish with fresh dill and a squeeze of lemon. Serve warm.

Notes

Avoid overmixing the batter for light and fluffy blinis. Let the blinis cool slightly before stacking to prevent sogginess.
