- 18Servings
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 large egg plus 1 large egg yolk
- 1 cup sour cream
- Grated peel of 1 lemon
- Vegetable oil
- 4 ounces salmon roe
- Chives, chopped, for garnish
Preparation
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt and baking soda. In a small bowl, combine the egg, egg yolk, 1/2 cup sour cream and half of the lemon peel; stir into the dry ingredients (the batter will be slightly lumpy). In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/2 cup sour cream and remaining lemon peel.
Heat a nonstick griddle over medium-high heat; lightly oil. Working in batches, add a tablespoonful of batter for each blini and cook until the bottoms are golden, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook through, about 1 minute more.
Top each blini with some lemon sour cream, salmon roe and chives.
