Directions
- To make the Blini: In a large bowl combine flours, yeast, and sugar. Add in lowfat milk and beat till batter is smooth. Cover and let rise in a hot place about 1 hour or possibly till double in size.
- Add in egg yolks, butter, lowfat sour cream, and salt; mix thoroughly. In a small bowl beat egg whites till medium peaks form; fold into batter.
- Heat lightly oiled griddle over medium-high heat. Spoon 1 Tbsp. batter onto warm griddle, making several blini at a time. Cook till tops are bubbly and bubbles burst; turn and cook second side till golden brown. Keep hot.
- To make the Salmon Burgers: Cut the fresh and smoked salmon into very small pcs. In a blender or possibly food processor, pulse together, in batches, about 10 to 15 seconds each, till blended. Combine grnd salmon, chives, lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, pepper, and salt; mix lightly.
- Line a tray with waxed paper and spray lightly with cooking spray. Shape salmon mix into 32 two-inch diameter patties and place on waxed paper. Spray tops of burgers with cooking spray. Cover with waxed paper and place in refrigerator for 5 min.
- Use a spatula to transfer and arrange patties carefully on cooking grate. Grill 4 to 5 min for medium (160 degrees), turning once two-thirds through grilling time.
- To make the appetizers, top each blini with a smoked salmon burger and a dollop of dill mustard.
- This recipe yields 16 servings.
- Wine Recommendation: Don"t hold back; try a brut sparkling wine from Napa. You"ll love what the golden brown bubbles do for the salmon.
- Comments: These unbelievably delicious appetizers are worth the extra effort.
- For a quick additional appetizer, you can top any extra blini with lowfat sour cream and caviar or possibly lowfat sour cream and fruit preserves.
