Method

Whisk egg whites to stiff peaks and fold them into the proved batter.

Whisk flour, yeast, milk, salt, and sugar and prove in a warm place for one hour.

Serve blinis topped with pâté alongside mackerel, pickles, herbs, crème fraiche, and optional caviar.

Char the mackerel skin with a blow torch and season with salt and pepper.

Heat vinegar, sugar, salt, and peppercorns until dissolved then pour over sliced shallots to pickle.

Boil beetroots for 15-20 minutes, then peel, halve, and sauté in butter for 3 minutes.

Blend smoked salmon, double cream, and crème fraiche in a processor until smooth.

Melt butter in a pan and cook tablespoons of batter until golden-brown on both sides.
