Preparation
Prepare the blinis. Crumble the yeast in the lukewarm milk, mix and leave to rest for 10 minutes. Separate the egg yolk from the white. In a bowl mix the flour and corn starch with the salt and pepper.
Add the milk to the flour and then the egg yolk. Whisk vigorously.
Whip the egg white until stiff and add it delicately to the mixture.
Cover and leaven for around 1 hour.
Cook spoonfuls of the mixture in a hot frying pan covered with a thin layer of butter.
When small bubbles appear on the surface, turn the blinis with a spatula.
Once ready, keep them warm.
To serve. Season the fresh cheese with a pinch of salt, pepper and lemon juice. Decorate the blinis with pieces of salmon, thin slices of Modì apple, cheese and aromatic herbs according to taste.
#CookingTips
#1 Blinis are tastier when eaten immediately after cooking, but you can prepare them a few hours before your guests arrive and heat them in the oven briefly before seasoning and serving.
#2 for a more intense flavour, you can replace the 00 flour with buckwheat (40g, 1.5 Oz, buckwheat flour, 60g, 2 Oz, 00 flour).
Add the milk to the flour and then the egg yolk. Whisk vigorously.
