Blinis

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Blinis Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, buckwheat flour, yeast, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and the egg. Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until smooth. Cover the bowl with a cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour.

  2. 2

    Cook the Blinis

    In a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, pour small amounts of the batter into the skillet to form small pancakes. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter.

  3. 3

    Prepare Brown Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over low heat. Continue cooking until the butter turns a nutty brown color and smells fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.

  4. 4

    Sieve the Egg

    Hard boil the remaining egg, then cool it in cold water. Peel and sieve the egg to create a fine texture.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    Top each blini with a dollop of brown butter, a sprinkle of sieved egg, and a generous scoop of caviar. Garnish with finely chopped fresh herbs.
