Exquisite Russian Brunch Vegetarian Blinis with Smoked Salmon and Caviar – A Delightful Culinary Experience

Allergens

Eggs, Dairy (Milk and Butter)

Ingredients

• 1 cup all
• purpose flour
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 large eggs
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 6 slices smoked salmon (optional for vegetarians)
• 1 tablespoon caviar (optional for vegetarians)
• Fresh dill, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.
2. In another bowl, combine the milk, eggs, and melted butter. Whisk well to incorporate air.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
4. Preheat a non stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly oil the surface of the pan.
5. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of batter onto the preheated pan, spreading it into a circle using the back of the spoon. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges are set, about 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and cook for another minute. Repeat with the remaining batter.
6. Assemble the blinis by placing a slice of smoked salmon (if using) and a dollop of caviar on top of each pancake. Garnish with fresh dill.
