Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 ounces smoked salmon, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, and melted butter.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  5. Pour about 2 tablespoons of batter per blini onto the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter.
  6. While blinis are cooking, prepare the dill cream. In a small bowl, combine sour cream, cream cheese, chopped dill, and lemon juice. Mix until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
  7. Top each blini with a dollop of dill cream and a slice of smoked salmon.
  8. Garnish with extra dill if desired.

Notes

  • For a lighter cream, you can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream.
  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened for a smooth consistency.
  • These blinis can be made ahead of time and reheated gently.
