Buckwheat Blinis with Salmon Roe

Recipe Description

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!
