Course: Appetizer
Cuisine: Gluten-Free, Russian
Servings: 8 One Serving: 3 blini

Ingredients

FOR THE BLINI

  • 4 large eggs, whites and yolks separated
  • 1/2 cup half and half
  • 6 Tbsp melted butter, divided
  • 3/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1 tsp gluten-free baking powder
  • sea salt

FOR THE TOPPING

  • 4 oz thinly sliced smoked salmon, divided into 24 equal portions
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • Tbsp minced chives

Instructions

  • Make the blini: Place a wire rack over a baking sheet. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, gently whisk together the egg yolks, half and half, and 3 tablespoons of the melted butter.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Fold into the egg yolk mixture.
  • In the clean, dry bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the egg whites until light, white, and fluffy, holding firm peaks, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Gently fold the egg whites into the flour-egg yolk batter until combined. Do not overmix (you’ll get flat blini).
  • Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the melted butter. Spoon heaping teaspoons of batter into the pan about 1 inch apart, use a small spatula or back of a spoon dipped in melted butter to gently but quickly smooth and form each into a roughly 2 to 2 ½-inch disc and cook until golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Gently flip and repeat on the other side. Transfer the blini to the prepared wire rack. Repeat with the remaining butter and batter to make approximately 24 blini.
  • To serve: Arrange the blini on a platter. Top each with some smoked salmon, 1 ½ teaspoons sour cream, and a sprinkle of chives.

Tips

  • These blini are fragile when cooking. To ensure they don’t fall apart, make sure the heat is high enough and the first side is cooked and well browned before carefully flipping with a spatula. If you’re unsure the blini are cooked through, once you’ve cooked both sides, cut one in half and look; it should no longer be moist inside.
  • For dairy-free blini, use almond milk instead of half and half.
