16blinis
125gcrème fraîche (38% fat)
1tbsplemon juice
1tbspdill, finely chopped
1tbspchives, finely chopped
50gcaviar
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Butter, preferably clarified - for frying
Instructions
Cut the blini pancakes out into rounds about 3 cm in diameter.
Melt a good knob of butter, preferably clarified, in a frying pan over medium heat and fry the blinis until golden and crisp on both sides. If needed, hold them down with a palette knife as they fry so they don't curl up.Set them aside on a wire rack and let them cool slightly.
Meanwhile, whip the crème fraîche with a hand mixer until light and airy. Stir in the lemon juice and herbs and season with a little salt and freshly ground pepper.Transfer the cream to a piping bag.
Pipe a dollop of cream onto 8 of the blini bases and place the tops on. Press them gently together so the cream reaches the edges.
Top each blini macaron with caviar and serve straight away.
