Ingredients:
- 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup buckwheat flour
- 1 teaspoon instant dry yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk warm
- 2 eggs separated
Topping
- 1/2 cup sour cream or crème fraiche
- 1/4 cup caviar or salmon roe
- 8 oz. smoked salmon
Instructions:
In a bowl, combine flours, yeast and salt.
Add warm milk and egg yolks. Whisk until smooth.
Cover with a tea towel.
Let rest for about 1 hour in a warm place.
In another bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form.
Fold in meringue, using a whisk.
In a lightly buttered skillet, pour a little batter at a time to form small pancakes, about 2-inches in diameter.
Cook for about 1 minute or until small holes form at the surface of the batter.
Turn blini over and cook for about 1 more minute. Repeat with remaining batter.
