Recipe by Kay Chun Nothing says CELEBRATION like blinis and caviar. These quick, buckwheat pancakes, made with baking powder (unlike the traditional yeast-based ones) are brightened with the addition of lemon zest. Use whatever caviar you prefer and your

Ingredients

1/3 cup crème fraîche or sour cream 2 tablespoons very thinly sliced scallions, divided 3 tablespoons whole milk 1 large egg 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest, divided 1/4 cup buckwheat flour 1/4 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon sugar Pinch of salt 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided 2 ounces caviar, such as trout caviar or salmon roe (see Cooks' Notes)

Instructions

Stir together crème fraîche and 1 tablespoon of the scallions. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large non-stick skillet over low heat and scrap into a small bowl. Whisk in milk, egg, and 1 teaspoon zest. Add flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt and whisk until smooth. Melt half of remaining butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Drop 6 rounded teaspoons of batter into skillet and cook until tiny bubbles form on the surface, edges appear dry, and undersides are golden, about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook until golden and cooked through, about 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm. Melt remaining 1/2 tablespoon butter in skillet and make 6 more blinis (you will have a little batter left over). To serve, top blinis with a small dollop of scallion crème fraîche and some caviar, then sprinkle with remaining lemon zest and scallion.
