  • 1 egg, separated

Directions
1.

In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, mix the milk, egg yolk, and melted butter. Combine the wet and dry ingredients to make a smooth batter.

2.

Whisk the egg white to soft peaks and gently fold it into the batter. This gives the blinis their lightness.

3.

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and brush it with a little butter. Drop in small spoonfuls of batter (about a tablespoon each) and cook for about a minute on each side, until golden and puffed. Keep them warm under a clean tea towel as you cook the rest.

4.

When ready to serve, top each blini with a small spoon of crème fraîche, a ribbon of smoked salmon and a sprig of dill. Finish with a crack of black pepper and a tiny squeeze of lemon if you like.
