RECIPE
Wild Alaska Smoked Salmon Blinis

Serves 6 - 8

Batter:
100 g (4 oz) self-raising flour
pinch of salt
1 medium egg
4 tablespoons natural yogurt
100 ml (31/2 fl oz) milk
a few drops of vegetable oil

Topping:
200 g (7 oz) crème fraîche
225 g (8 oz) wild Alaska smoked salmon
25 g (1 oz) lumpfish caviar
dill sprigs, to garnish

* Put the flour, salt, egg, yogurt and milk into a large jug or mixing bowl and use a whisk to beat them all together to make a smooth, thick batter

* Heat a heavy-based frying pan until very hot, then add just a few drops of vegetable oil, spreading the oil over the base of the pan with kitchen paper to give a light film of oil

* Drop dessertspoonfuls of batter into the pan and cook over a medium-high heat for about 1 minute, or until bubbles start to appear and pop on the surface. Turn them over and cook the other sides. Repeat until all the batter is used up

* To assemble, arrange the little pancakes on large plates or a serving platter. Add a teaspoonful of crème fraîche to each one, then top with strips of smoked salmon and a tiny amount of lumpfish caviar. Garnish with dill sprigs, then serve
