Ingredients

8 eggs

200 gram (6½ ounces) sliced smoked salmon

2 tablespoon sour cream

1 tablespoon fresh chives, coarsely chopped

Blinis

1/3 cup (50g) buckwheat flour

2 tablespoon plain (all-purpose) flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 egg

1/2 cup (125ml) buttermilk

30 gram (1 ounce) butter, melted

Method

1.Make blini. Sift flours and baking powder into medium bowl; gradually whisk in combined egg and buttermilk until mixture is smooth. Stir in butter. Cook blini, in batches, by dropping 1 tablespoon of the batter into heated oiled large frying pan. Cook blini until browned both sides; you will have 12 blini. Cover to keep warm.

2.To poach eggs, half fill large shallow frying pan with water; bring to the boil. Break 1 egg into a cup, then slide into pan, repeat with three more eggs. When all eggs are in pan, allow water to return to the boil. Cover pan, turn off heat, stand about 4 minutes or until a light film of egg white sets over yolks. Using a slotted spoon, remove eggs one at a time from pan, drain on absorbent paper, cover to keep warm. Repeat with remaining eggs.

3.Serve blini topped with eggs, salmon, sour cream and chives.
