The Sunday Funday Bloggers are sharing Elegant Appetizers for Mom...

I served these Blini with Caviar for my Marina at a Russian Tea Party to celebrate the impending birth of our grandson, Milan.   Since we were celebrating Marina being a Mom and since Mother's Day is coming up next weekend, I asked the others to share some Elegant Appetizers for Moms.  Let's see what they brought to the table.......

Blini with Caviar

This elegant appetizer is incredibly easy to make and impressive to serve. A great way to show the special person in your life just how much you appreciate them.

Prep time: 5 MinCook time: 20 MinInactive time: 3 HourTotal time: 3 H & 25 M

Ingredients

• 1/4 c. warm water (105-110*)
• 1 pkg. active dry yeast
• 1 1/2 T. sugar
• 1/2 c. flour
• 1/2 c. buckwheat flour
• pinch of salt
• 1 c. milk
• 4 T. butter, melted and cooled
• 2 eggs
• Sour Cream
• Caviar

Instructions

1. Whisk the yeast and sugar into the water in a large bowl, and set aside for 5 minutes, until foamy.
2. Add the flours, salt, milk, 3 Tablespoons of the butter, and eggs. Mix until incorporated. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for about 2 hours. The dough should have increased in volume and have bubbles breaking the surface.
3. Heat a nonstick skillet over high heat, brush some of the remaining butter onto the pan, stir the batter, and add 1 Tablespoon of the batter to the pan. I was able to work in batches of 4 blini to the pan. Cook the blini, until golden brown and then flip to cook the other side, about 2 minutes total. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
4. Arrange blini on serving platters, top with a dollop of sour cream and some caviar and serve immediately.
