BLINI WITH CAVIAR
1 package dry active yeast
1 ½ cups of all purpose flour
1 ½ cups of buckwheat flour
3 cups of warm milk
2 tablespoons of melted butter
½ teaspoon of salt
2 eggs, with the yolks and whites separated
Dissolve the yeast into the warm milk in a bowl. The milk must be at least 100 degrees to properly activate the yeast, but not over 110 or it will kill it. Cover the bowl and let it sit for 5 to10 minutes. Wisk the egg yolks and add them and the butter to the milk. Sift the flours with the salt and then mix the wet and dry ingredients. Beat the egg whites until just stiff and fold them into the mixture. Preheat a griddle with melted butter and ladle servings of the batter onto it. Cook until lightly golden on each side. Spoon a tablespoon of the caviar onto the blini, add melted butter or sour cream, roll, and enjoy.
Serve with Champagne or Vodka Martini.
