In the Centner house, a brunch spread is not complete without some smoked salmon!
Whether you create a build your own toast station or go with something a bit more refined like these Smoked Salmon Blinis with Creamy Dill Sauce, we've yet to meet a group of guests who don't enjoy this Scandinavian classic!
Ingredients:
Packet of smoked salmon
1 cup of self-raising flour
1 large egg
1 tbsp olive oil
1 cup of 2% milk
unsalted butter
1 cup sour cream
Fresh dill, chopped
1 tbsp lemon juice
Salt & pepper to taste
Micro greens to garnish
How-To:
Blinis:
1. Combine flour and a pinch of salt in a large mixing bowl. Beat egg and add oil into the flour. Gradually whisk in the milk until you’ve got smooth batter.
2. Heat large non-stick frying pan on a medium and add 1 small tab of butter.
3. Once hot and the butter’s melted, add tablespoons of batter to the pan to make your blinis. Cook for 1 minute on each side, flipping over when they turn golden on the bottom and get little bubbles on top. Just like making baby pancakes!
4. Transfer the cooked blinis to a plate, and continue with the remaining batter until it’s all used up.
Sauce:
In a small bowl, combine sour cream, lemon juice, dill, salt, & pepper.
Now is just a matter of building your canapés! Start with a dollop on sauce onto a blini, add a piece of smoked salmon, and garnish as desired!
And voila, a picture perfect creation that required a lot less effort than appears (our favourite kind 😉)
