Traditional Russian blini call for a yeast-raised batter that's again lightened with beaten egg white to make them light and airy. They symbolize the sun and mark the end of the winter and beginning of brighter days.
Today they come in all shapes and sizes, thin, thick, with only white wheat flour, cornmeal, sweet, savoury, with yeast, baking powder, you name it. I like this quick easy version made with baking powder and flavoured with a mix of fresh herbs. These are a perfect appetizer, an ideal party nibble, but would also be fantastic served with some seasonal fruit for the breakfast. They can be made a day ahead and kept in an airtight container.

- Blend fresh herbs, egg and almond milk together with an immersion blender until smooth.
- Sieve the spelt flour and baking powder into a mixing bowl, then season with salt and pepper. Make a well in the middle, pour in the milk mixture, using a whisk or wooden spoon, mix everything until a smooth batter forms.
- Lightly grease a non-stick frying pan with bacon fat and warm over moderate heat. Add a tablespoon of the batter and cook for 2 minutes or until you see bubbles on the surface and it’s golden underneath. Flip over and continue to fry for another minute. Repeat until all the batter is used up. The batter yields 9 blini.
- Spread each blin with a little sour cream and top with rainbow trout caviar and fennel frond.

Interesting, I wonder how it tastes like. Happy day!
So yummy :)
What a lovely way to serve caviar! Another beautiful dish, Angie!!
I'd eat the whole plate but only if you take out cilantro. When it comes to that nastiness I'm with Julia Child who, when asked what is the best way to use it, said: you take it, you wash it, and you throw it on the floor and step on it LOL
...something new to me.
Fun dish! Love the look of the caviar as a garnish. Really good stuff - thanks.
I love blinis!....for us is our traditional New Year's dinner!!....I lo the idea to include herbs in them.....delicious!!........Abrazotes, Marcela

Beautiful. I like what they symbolize.
What a delicious appetizer they would make! I keep my fall-harvested herbs frozen for recipes just like this :)
I made blinis a few times while a student at the Paris Le Cordon Bleu school. We used special small blini frying pans. We had to be careful not to burn ourselves- one student burned his hand!
looks a delicious crowd starter..perfect and yummy one !!
I love blini! What a fun idea to make them green with fresh herbs!
Ooh, green again. But what a lovely pale shade. These sound totally delicious too. This feeling of spring has me bouncing around like tigger and your blinis look beautifully fresh and spring like.
