Blinis

by Martin聽Blunos

Ingredients

  • 450g plain white flour
  • 2 x 7g packets dried yeast
  • 6 medium eggs, separated
  • 1 pint whole milk
  • 1/2 pint soured cream
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • zest of 1/4 lemon, free of white pith, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp caraway seeds, fine chopped or coarsely ground

Preparation Method

  • Sieve flour, salt and sugar into a mixing bowl
  • Add the yeast, lemon and caraway seeds
  • Add the egg yolks to the milk and soured cream,聽mix with a whisk,聽pour on to the flour mixture and blend well until smooth and lump free
  • Cover the bowl with cling film and leave in a warm place to prove for approximately 1 to 1-and-a-quarter hours. It should be double in bulk and bubbly
  • Whisk the egg whites to a soft peak stage and fold them through the flour mix. Leave again for 20 minutes before use
  • Heat a pan (70cm)聽and pour in a little clarified butter and olive-pomace聽oil
  • Rub a little oil around the edge of聽metal rings and put in the pan. Ladel a little of the mix into聽the rings and聽cook for around 2/3 minutes until the top has bubbled and is silky
  • Remove the rings (the first batch may stick!) and flip over with a palette knife to finish cooking for a further 2 minutes
  • Remove from the pan and place on a wire rack to cool
  • Serve immediately (or they can be wrapped and frozen (defrost in fridge and flash through a hot oven to reheat))
