Method:

1. Mix the flours together in a bowl. Make a well in the centre of the flour mixture and add the yeast. Stir in the melted butter and luke­warm milk and set aside for 10 minutes to rise.

2. Stir in the whole egg and egg yolks until the mixture has a smooth consistency.

3. In a clean, dry bowl, whisk the egg whites with a little salt until stiff peaks form, then fold into the batter and leave to rise at room temperature for 30 minutes.

4. Heat the clarified butter in a frying pan. Drop spoonfuls of batter into the pan so they spread out to a diameter of about 6 cm/2 inches Sauté in the hot butter until set and golden brown on both sides.

5. Remove from the pan and drain on kitchen paper. Immediately brush the soured cream onto the hot blinis and place a thin slice of marinated salmon on top.

Note: Blini dough when stored in the refrigerator takes longer to rise, and therefore the dough can be prepared the evening before. If you are in a hurry, you can buy ready-made blinis in many supermarkets.
