Blinis, or Russian pancakes as they are also known, are great for canapés

I like to use them with cream cheese (sometimes with horseradish and creme fresh mixed in too) and smoked salmon on top

Recipe

Ingredients

• 20 grams butter
• 150g Self raising flour
• Pinch Salt
• 1/4 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
• 60g milk 
• 180g Sour cream 

Steps
Add butter 1 min /  50 degrees / speed 4

Add the rest of the ingredients and blend 30 seconds / speed 5

Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add a splash more milk if the batter is too think

Blend again 

Fill a squeeze condiment bottle with your batter. Lightly grease a pancake pan/frying pan and squeeze out circles – don’t try and make a circle shape, just squeeze from the centre and they’ll form circles.

Top with cream cheese and smoked salmon or with my smoked salmon paté
