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
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, and melted butter.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
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.
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.
Top each blini with a dollop of dill cream and a slice of smoked salmon.
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.
