Chive Blini with Caviar and Creme Fraiche

Ingredients

• 1 cup buckwheat flour
• 1 egg
• 2/3 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted and separated
• 1 teaspoon chives, finely diced
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 cup creme fraiche
• 1-ounce caviar of your choice

Directions

In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine flour, egg, milk, 1 tablespoon butter, chives, and salt. Whisk just until ingredients come together. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set aside for 1 hour. Set a medium nonstick pan over low heat and brush with melted butter. Pour approximately 1 teaspoon of the batter into the pan, and repeat leaving some space between pancakes. When bubbles appear on the surface of the pancakes (about 1 to 2 minutes), flip them over with a spatula. Continue cooking for 1 minute more or until the pancakes are golden brown on both sides.

Serve with a tiny dollop of creme fraiche and an even tinier dollop of the caviar of your choice (paddle fish, hackleback, golden whitefish and tobiko all work well.)
