Method

  • step 1

    To make the blini batter, blend the cooked beetroot and Greek yogurt with a stick blender until smooth. Whisk in the eggs, bicarbonate of soda and self-raising flour.

  • step 2

    Drop teaspoonfuls of the mixture into a hot non-stick pan. Turn over when small bubbles start to form on the surface of each, then cook for about 30 secs and transfer to a wire rack. Repeat until all the batter is used up. Can be made a day ahead and kept in an airtight container.

  • step 3

    Spread each blini with a little cream cheese and season with salt and black pepper. Top with smoked salmon trimmings and sprigs of dill.

Quite disappointing: not only do you need a lot of time to cook them all, but they remain very floppy and the taste of beetroot completely disappears with the salmon (on their own, the blinis were ok with a subtle taste of beetroot). I froze leftover blinis and will see if they are better once…

Very easy to make, although they are a strange colour. Hubby was worried about the taste of beetroot as he's not too keen, but he couldn't get enough of them! I served them with soft goat's cheese and onion confit......mmmmmm
