Ingredients
Instructions
- TRADITIONAL METHOD
Preparation (traditional method) :
1. Mix the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Add the egg yolks, warm milk and cream. Mix until smooth.
2. Cover and leave to stand for 1 hour at room temperature.
If you are using dry yeast instead of baking powder, warm the milk, dissolve the yeast in it and leave to stand for 3 minutes before continuing. This gives the blinis a stronger flavour.
3. Whisk the egg whites until stiff and fold gently into the pastry.
Cooking the blinis
- Heat a non-stick frying pan with a little butter over medium-high heat.
- Place small heaps of pastry (approx. 3 to 4 tablespoons) well apart.
- Cook until bubbles appear. Turn over and cook for a few more minutes.
- Cool on a wire rack.
Tip: Use a piping bag without a tip to form regular blinis.
Trim
- Mix the crème fraîche with the wasabi paste and a pinch of salt until smooth.
- Adjust the amount of wasabi to taste. Set aside in a cool place.
Installation & service
- Place a spoonful of wasabi cream on each blini.

- Garnish with a small chervil leaf.
