Description
An elegant and delicious blini cake featuring the rich flavors of smoked salmon and fresh dill, perfect for brunch or light dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or buckwheat flour)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk (or buttermilk)
- 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
- 8 ounces smoked salmon, thinly sliced
- 8 ounces cream cheese (or sour cream)
- 1 lemon, squeezed
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs, then mix in milk and fresh dill.
- Combine the two mixtures until just blended; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and grease lightly. Pour small scoops of the batter onto the pan, cooking until bubbles form on top, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the blinis and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Remove and keep them warm.
- Spread cream cheese on each blini and layer with smoked salmon. Finish with a sprinkle of fresh dill and a squeeze of lemon juice.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
Ensure the skillet is properly heated for the best texture. Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the blinis tender.
