The classic Russian caviar appetiser
An exquisite and highly elegant way to enjoy caviar is in the purest Russian style: traditional blinis (small pancakes) with their smooth texture and neutral flavour; sour cream, which combines perfectly with the last and most important ingredient: caviar. This preparation of the perfect trio is what Kenoz wants to offer today in a few simple steps.
Blini Preparation
- Heat the dry yeast with a little milk. Leave for 5 minutes.
- Strain flour into a bowl. Add the 3 yolks, the remaining milk and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well, obtaining a dense but liquid paste.
- Add yeast. Leave for 15 minutes at room temperature.
- Whisk egg whites into foam. Smoothly add to mixture.
- Heat a frying pan on a medium heat with a little oil and butter. Place a little batter in the pan and fry 1.5 min for each side until the blinis are ready.
- Cool before serving.
Sour Cream Preparation
- Mix all ingredients, obtaining a dense cream.
- Place one spoonful of Sour Cream on each cooled blini. Lightly drop one spoonful of caviar on top of each canapé. Serve immediately.
Note: Remember to use a nacre spoon for serving caviar. If unavailable, use plastic or another neutral material, as metal oxidises caviar’s flavour.
