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.)

    This recipe should be removed from Food Network. I followed this recipe exactly and the blini's ended up looking like dark, brown rocks and tasting exactly like warm dirt. Good thing I didn't waste the creme fraiche and caviar I have prepared on these things. My guess is that buckwheat is the culprit here, but I would not suggest anyone even attempt making this. You will not enjoy it.
