Caviar and Accoutrements
Buttermilk Blini
Method
Preparing the Buttermilk Blini
Make the Batter
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, buttermilk, egg, baking powder, and salt until smooth. Stir in the melted butter.
Cook the Blini
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease it with butter. Pour small amounts of batter (about 2 tablespoons) onto the skillet for each blini. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, about 1-2 minutes, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter.
Serving the Caviar
Plate the Caviar
On a serving platter, arrange the cooked blini. Top each blini with a dollop of crème fraîche, a spoonful of caviar, and sprinkle with chopped chives and capers. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
