Ingredients

  • Almond flour
  • Coconut flour
  • Eggs
  • Unsweetened almond milk
  • Olive oil
  • Smoked salmon
  • Cream cheese
  • Fresh dill
  • Fresh chives
  • Lemon zest
  • Salt
  • Black pepper

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, eggs, unsweetened almond milk, and a pinch of salt. Let the batter rest for 15 minutes. In another bowl, combine softened cream cheese, chopped fresh dill, chopped fresh chives, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Set aside. Preheat a non stick pan over medium heat. Brush with olive oil and pour in a ladle of batter to form each blini crepe. Cook until golden brown on both sides. Remove from the pan and keep warm. Assemble the blinis by placing a dollop of cream cheese mixture onto one side of a blini, folding it in half to enclose the filling, and then laying another blini on top.

The key to perfect blinis is achieving the right consistency in the batter and cooking them until they are golden brown on both sides.
