Real Blinis – How to Make Traditional Russian Luxury Pancakes with Caviar

Wanted to share a festive blini recipe I learned years ago while working at a fancy restaurant. Since I like cooking outdoors I decided to try to do it on a bonfire. This blini is perfect with caviar, sour cream and all kinds of smoked fish.

Buckwheat Blini recipe

Day 1

– 10 g fresh yeast
– 300 g lukewarm milk
– 75 g water
– 150 g buckwheat flour
– 125 ml beer

Put it in fridge overnight or leave it at room temperature for 6 hours minimum

Day 2

– 225 g flour
– 3 egg yolks
– 100 g cream
– 2 tsp salt
– 100 g clarified butter

Leave it at room temperature for around 30-60 minutes.

– 3 egg whites
– 1 tbsp sugar

Whip the egg whites with sugar and fold in the batter.

Use a generous amount of clarified butter for cooking. Instead of a bonfire the blinis could be baked in a 200C oven for 12-15 minutes or smaller blinis could be fried on a pan!

Serve with

– sour cream
– shallots
– hard boiled eggs
– chives
– caviar

Enjoy!
