Blinis with Caviar

Key ingredients:

• ¾ tsp sea salt

• ½ tsp baking powder

• 1 egg

• 1 cup flour

• 2 tbsp butter (1 tbsp melted)

• ¾ cup + 2 tbsp milk

Preparation steps:

1. Mix dry ingredients:

   • In a medium bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients (flour, salt, baking powder, etc.) until well combined.

2. Combine Butter and Egg:

   • In a separate small bowl, whisk the melted butter with the egg until the mixture is smooth and uniform.

3. Add Milk:

   • Gradually whisk the milk into the butter and egg mixture, ensuring it’s well blended.

4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:

   • Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until everything is just combined and the batter is smooth, with no visible lumps.

5. Heat Skillet:

   • Melt the remaining butter in a skillet over medium heat. Make sure the butter coats the entire surface of the skillet.

6. Cook Blinis:

   • Spoon about 1 tablespoon of batter into the hot skillet. Spread the batter slightly with the back of the spoon if necessary.

7. Flip Blinis:

   • Cook until the edges are golden and bubbles form on the surface, roughly 2 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown.

8. Serve:

   • Transfer the pancakes to a serving plate. Top each Blini with a dollop of sour cream and a generous spoonful of Sturion Osetra Caviar.
