Ingredients

½ cup (~60g) Buckwheat flour (or oat flour)
1 scoop (~30g) Whey protein powder (unflavored)
4 large Egg whites
1 Egg (whole)
¾ cup Unsweetened almond milk
½ tsp Baking powder
100g sliced Smoked salmon (premium)
2–3 tsp Caviar
¼ cup Crème fraîche or Greek yogurt
2 tbsp chopped Fresh dill
to taste Salt + black pepper

Method

In a bowl, whisk buckwheat flour, protein powder, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk whole egg, egg whites, and almond milk. Combine wet and dry ingredients until just smooth (do not overmix).
Let batter rest 10 minutes (buckwheat develops flavor).
Heat non-stick pan over medium-low. Lightly grease.
Pour 2–3 tbsp batter per blini (make small, thick rounds). Cook 2 minutes until bubbles appear and edges set.
Flip and cook 1 minute more until golden.
Cool slightly. Top each blini with a small dollop of crème fraîche/Greek yogurt, a slice of smoked salmon, a tiny spoonful of caviar, and fresh dill.
Serve immediately as elegant canapés or a luxurious brunch stack.
