Ingredients

  • 1/2 Cup
    milk
  • 1 Teaspoon
    white vinegar
  • 1
    egg, beaten
  • 2/3 Cups
    self-raisingflour
  • 1/4 Cup
    chives, finely chopped
  • 20 Grams
    butter, melted
  • 1
    small tub crème fraiche
  • 100 Grams
    smoked ocean trout (or smoked salmon)

Instructions

  1. Combine the milk and vinegar and leave for a minute. Stir through the egg and add the mixture to the flour, along with the chives. Stir to combine, ensuring there are no lumps.

  2. Heat a frypan over medium-high heat and brush with melted butter. Carefully drop teaspoonfuls of the batter into the pan. When bubbles start to appear on the surface edges of the blini, flip them over and cook for a further 30 seconds-1 minute. Remove and cool on a wire rack.

  3. When the blini are cool, arrange on a serving platter. Top each with a piped blob of crème fraiche and a strip of ocean trout.

  4. If this is for a very posh do, try topping this with some salmon pearls and a frond of fresh dill.
