Blinis with Smoked Salmon and Crème Fraîche - Kosher
These Blinis with Smoked Salmon and Crème Fraîche are the epitome of elegance and sophistication. The delicate blinis, made from a blend of buckwheat and all-purpose flour, provide a perfect base for the luxurious toppings. Each bite is a harmony of creamy, tangy crème fraîche, fresh dill, and chives, all beautifully complementing the rich, smoky flavor of the salmon.
In a bowl, mix the yeast and sugar with the warmed milk. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until frothy.
In a larger bowl, combine both flours and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture.
Add the sour cream and egg. Mix until smooth. Cover and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour.
Once the batter is bubbly and has risen, heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.
Spoon tablespoon-sized amounts of batter onto the skillet to form small blinis. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on both sides.
To assemble, place the blinis on a serving platter, top each with a slice of smoked salmon, a dollop of crème fraîche, and garnish with dill and chives.
