MAKES 20

Ingredients

  • Gluten-free plain flour

    200g

  • Sachet gluten-free baking yeast

    1 x 7g

  • Milk, warmed

    240ml

  • Eggs, separated

    2

  • Sour cream

    300ml

  • Smoked salmon

    250g

  • Salmon roe or caviar, optional

  • Pinch of chilli powder, optional

  • Chopped chives or sprigs of dill, to serve

  • Olive oil, for frying

Method

STEP 1

Sift flour and salt then add yeast. Whisk in warm milk then beat in egg yolks with a wooden spoon. Cover with a clean tea towel and leave in a warm place for around an hour to rise.

STEP 2

Whisk egg whites to a soft peak then stir them into the batter. Heat a heavy-based frying pan with a small amount of oil. When hot, place tablespoons of the batter into the pan. Cook for a minute then flip over and cook for a further minute. Using a spatula, transfer onto paper towel and continue to fry remaining blinis, layering them with paper towel as they are cooked.

STEP 3

To serve, spread each blini lightly with sour cream. Cut the smoked salmon into small enough pieces to be able to fold over on top of each blini then place another dab of sour cream on top. Decorate each with a few balls of roe or with a pinch of chilli powder and a sprinkling of chives or dill.
