Ingredients

Directions

Place prepared sweet potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with water. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, and cook until the potatoes are tender and can be mashed easily with a fork. Drain well and return to the saucepan. Add the honey and 4 tablespoons of the butter and mash until smooth. If possible, puree this mixture in food mill. In a small bowl, combine the milk and eggs and stir in the sweet potato puree. In another bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt and cayenne. Add the dry ingredients to the sweet potatoes and stir until just blended.

Melt the remaining butter and reserve. Heat non-stick skillets over medium-heat and coat with some of melted butter. Drop sweet potato mixture into skillets in 1 1/2-tablespoon amounts. Turn once, cooking until golden and crisp, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to a large baking sheet. Repeat the process with the remaining butter and batter. The pancakes can stand at room temperature for 2 hours. Reheat in a 325 degree F. oven for 5 minutes before serving.

To serve, arrange 3 blinis on a plate and garnish each with a slice of cured salmon, a dollop of creme fraiche and a small spoonful of caviar.

    These were okay. I will not make them again. I think the blinis would be better as pancakes for breakfast with brown sugar and maple syrup. I actually substituted the honey for brown sugar in the recipe as I do not like honey.

    We made a few changes to serve them as an appetizer for a party. We used already prepared sweet potatoes from the market ala semi-homemade, added a small can of chopped green chiles and cumin to taste. This way it makes about 6 dozen 2 inch blinis. We also made large pancakes out of it, added a little maple syrup and topped it with a fried egg for dinner one night. Unbelievable flavors! That would be a great brunch dish. We will be making these a lot. They freeze beautifully also for later use.

    Made this for a Thanksgiving dinner -- wanted to use traditional ingredients in an untraditional way. The combination is fantastic -- pancakes are sweet and hot, and the fish is nice and salty. People gobbled them up. Would definitely make them again.
