Ingredients
- 150 g smoked salmon, sliced
- 2 tbsp dill sprigs, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp chives, finely chopped
- 1 tsp mild Korean chilli powder, to serve
For the turmeric cream
- ½ lemon, juiced and finely zested
- 100 g cream cheese
- 150 g sour cream
- ½ tsp ground turmeric
- ¼ tsp ground cumin
- Salt and black pepper
For the blini batter
- 170 ml milk
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp (20 ml) vegetable oil
- 150 g self-raising flour
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp fine salt
Resting time: 30 minutes
Instructions
- Combine the ingredients for the blini batter in a high-speed blender and mix to a smooth batter. Transfer to a squeeze bottle and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, combine the ingredients for the turmeric cream and mix well to combine. Allow to stand for 30 minutes before using (this allows the colour of the turmeric to develop).
- When ready to cook, heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Squeeze 5 cm rounds of the blini batter into the pan and cook until bubbles appear on the surface. Flip and cook for 1 minute further, or until cooked through.
- To serve, transfer the cooked blinis to a large serving plate. Top the blinis with a small scoop of the turmeric cream, followed by a small piece of salmon. Sprinkle with herbs and chilli powder and serve.
