Smoked salmon blinis

This is the perfect nibbly snacky finger food-type dish! Very easy to make in advance and can be kept in the fridge for a couple of hours, which saves all the last minute rushing around at dinner parties etc. Blinis are traditionally made with yeast, but baking powder seems to do the trick too!

BLINIS
Makes about 30 mini blinis

• 1 Egg
• 75 g whole wheat flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• Half a tsp baking soda
• Quarter tsp of salt
• About 5 tbsp of milk
• 20 g olive oil
• 40 g yogurt

1. Mix the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda well together until nicely combined.
2. Make a well at the centre of the dry ingredients, slowly combine in your egg, yogurt and oil until you obtain a smooth batter. It should be quite thick at this stage, add in enough milk to loosen up the mix, you are aiming for a cake-like batter with a dropping consistency whilst still being thick enough for the blinis not to stick together.
3. Once your frying pan is hot, set the heat to medium-low, and drop teaspoons full of the batter on the pan to form mini pancakes. Flip them once they start bubbling. Once done, set aside to cool.

Top your blinis with whatever you desire, I used light cream cheese and slices of smoked salmon.
