Blinis are small Russian buckwheat pancakes, that are traditionally served with smoked salmon, caviar and sour cream. They are delicious served for breakfast with champagne – as only the Russians can do! Smoked salmon is out and Oscar would never go for caviar, but blinis can be served with many other toppings. I prefer to have them as a savoury dish, but that concept was lost on Oscar and he had his “pancakes” with maple syrup and banana. Not what I was aiming for but at least he ate them. Made with buckwheat they are gluten-free and I made these with rice milk so they are also dairy-free. The original recipe came from BBC Good Food.
