Blinis

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the two flours and yeast. Form a small well in the center of the flour.
• In a measuring cup, heat the milk in the microwave for about 50 seconds. The temperature should feel like a hot bath.
• Pour in the milk and stir. Cover with cling film and let rise for 40 minutes.
• Once the dough has risen, it is time to enrich the batter. Add in the melted butter, salt, and the egg yolk. Stir to combine.
• In a separate bowl, whisk the egg white until stiff but not dry. Gently fold the egg white into the batter. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
• Heat a non-stick skillet or flat griddle to medium heat, do not grease the pan. Pour the batter slowly to form miniature pancakes, about the size of a toonie/poker chip.
• Fry the pancakes for approx. 60 seconds on each side and flip once you see little bubbles popping at the surface of the pancake. Aim to have a even light golden colour on the blinis. Serve the blinis room temperature or slightly chilled.
• To serve, open the caviar tin and place in a serving dish with ice. Spread a small amount of clotted cream on a blini, then caviar, and garnish with chives.
