Caviar and Blinis
Submitted By: Victoria Granof
1 cup buckwheat pancake mix
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 egg
1 tablespoon melted butter or vegetable oil
2/3 cup milk (any fat content) or water
Black caviar (our favorite is paddlefish)
Crème fraîche
Chives, snipped
Smoked salmon (optional)
Minced red onion (optional)
1. Combine the pancake mix with the salt, egg, butter or oil, and milk or water.
2. Lightly brush another tablespoon of melted butter onto a skillet over medium-high heat.
3. When the skillet is hot, spoon the batter into it a tablespoon at a time.
4. Cook the blinis until tiny bubbles appear, about 1 minute, then flip them and fry until golden brown on each side.
5. Transfer the blinis to a platter and serve warm with the caviar, crème fraîche, chives, and smoked salmon and onion (if desired).
Pairing: Champagne or White Burgundy (Chardonnay)
