Description
A delightful layered cake featuring soft blinis, smoked salmon, and fresh dill, perfect for gatherings and special occasions.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 8 oz high-quality smoked salmon
- 1/2 cup fresh dill, chopped
- 1/2 cup crème fraîche or cream cheese
- Optional toppings: capers, finely chopped red onions, lemon zest
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. In another bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the milk. Gradually blend the wet ingredients into the dry until smooth, and let it rest for about 15 minutes.
- Cook the Blinis: Heat a skillet over medium heat with a touch of butter or oil. Pour small amounts of batter onto the skillet; cook until bubbles appear, then flip to finish cooking until golden.
- Build the Cake: Layer the blinis on a serving platter, spreading a light layer of crème fraîche or cream cheese between each, followed by smoked salmon and dill.
- Finishing Touch: Top with additional dill and optional toppings like capers. Serve warm or cold with a drizzle of lemon juice.
Notes
Ensure the skillet is preheated for the best results and avoid overcrowding the pan. Consider making mini blinis for bite-sized treats.
