Salmon Blinis with Whipped Butter
Method
- In a large bowl, sift in the flour, baking powder, sugar and a pinch of salt. In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and half of the melted butter. Gradually whisk the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, until a smooth batter forms. Transfer into the fridge for 30 minutes.
- While batter chills, prepare the Whipped Lemon Brown Butter. In a heavy based frying pan melt butter. Continue to cook the butter until it starts to brown. Remove and refrigerate until completely cool.
- Place the cooled butter into the bowl of a stand mixer and whip for 3 - 4 minutes, or until light and fluffy. Add the lemon zest and mix until combined.
- Heat a large non-stick fry pan over a medium heat. Lightly brush the pan with a small amount of the remaining melted butter. Add around one tablespoon of batter to the pan and cook for 1 minute or until small bubbles appear on the surface. Flip and cook for a further 30 seconds or until cooked. Repeat with the remaining butter and batter.
- To serve, top the blinis with the whipped butter and smoked salmon.

Saute with butter
Melt butter on a medium heat. The butter must be hot otherwise it will be absorbed and the food becomes soggy rather than crispy. The food should "sizzle" when added to the pan.
