- 75 g buckwheat flour
- 50 g plain flour
- 200 ml whole milk
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Butter for frying – clarified if possible
To serve
- 150 g lumpfish roe
- 150 ml crème fraîche – ideally 38% fat
- 1/2 bunch chives, finely chopped

- Freshly ground pepper
Instructions
Homemade blinis
- Put all the ingredients for the blini batter in a bowl and stir until smooth and well combined.
- Melt a generous knob of butter in the pan and spoon small dollops of batter into the pan, in whatever size you would like your blinis.
- Turn the blinis when the batter starts to bubble lightly on top – they need about 1 1/2 min. on each side over medium heat.
- Let the blinis drain on a little kitchen paper – they should be warm but not hot when served (otherwise the crème fraîche melts).
