Looking for an easy but impressive looking appetizer? These Buckwheat Blinis with Salmon Roe are perfect for your holiday gathering. Cute mini pancakes made with fabulously earthy buckwheat flour topped with crème fraîche and briny salmon roe. Arrange these bites on a large platter, and you are set for the party!
To make these blinis, start by whisking the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients. Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Melt a small amount of butter in a skillet. Use a tablespoon to drop batter into the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 2 minutes or until bubbles form, then flip and cook until lightly browned. Top the blinis with a dollop of crème fraîche and add the caviar on top. Garnish with chives. Serve and enjoy!
To make my Buckwheat Blinis with Salmon Roe, you will need the following ingredients:
In a large bowl, combine ⅓ cup buckwheat flour, ⅔ cup all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon kosher salt.
In a small skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter and set aside to cool slightly.
In another bowl, whisk together ¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons whole milk, 1 extra-large egg, and the melted butter.
Whisk the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.
In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon butter and drop the batter into the hot skillet one tablespoon at a time. Cook over medium heat until bubbles form on the top, about 2 minutes, turn it over and cook for about 1 more minute or until lightly brown.
Continue to add batter and to cook blinis, adding butter as necessary. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
To serve, top the blinis with a dollop of crème fraîche and add the caviar on top. Garnish with chives and serve.
