Ingredients:
1/3 cup buckwheat flour |
2/3 cup all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt |
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons milk |
1 extra-large egg |
1/4 pound (1 stick) unsalted butter, clarified, divided |
1/2 pound smoked salmon, thinly sliced |
1/4 cup creme fraiche or sour cream |
fresh dill sprig, for garnish |
Directions:
1. Combine both flours, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and 1 tablespoon of the clarified butter, then whisk into the flour mixture. Heat 1 tablespoon of the clarified butter in a medium saute pan and drop the batter into the hot skillet, 1 tablespoon at a time. Cook over medium-low heat until bubbles form on the top side of the blini, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook for 1 more minute, or until brown. Repeat with the remaining batter. (I clean the hot pan with a dry paper towel between batches.) Set aside.
2. To serve, top the blini with a piece of smoked salmon. Add a dollop of creme fraiche and a sprig of dill.
