Blinis with Lobster

This is an indulgncee when you want something slightly decadent.

Blini

  • 15g instant yeast
  • 1/4 cup (60g) whole-wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup (80g) plain white flour
  • 2 teaspoon (8ml) sugar
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) tepid water
  • 1 egg separated
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) salt
  • 3/4 cup (160ml) tepid milk
  • butter for frying
  • 1/2 cup additional butter
  • juice of 1/2 lemon
  • whole dill for garnish.

1 pound ready cooked, or two uncooked lobsters

 

METHOD

Mix the yeast into the flours. Add sugar and water and whisk extremely well.

Beat egg yolk and add with salt to the flour mixture making a nice, thick batter.

Grease a bowl and place the batter in it covered with a clean tea towel or cling wrap.

Wait for it to double in volume - approximately 2 hours.

Whisk tepid milk into the mixture and recover until bubbles appear on the surface which takes anything from 1/2 to 1 hour. Be patient!

Beat egg white until it forms soft peak stage and mix in with the butter.

Using additional butter (and preferably a non-stick spray) heat the pan to medium and spoon small batches of the blini batter into the pan. Allow to fry for 3-4 minutes before turning them over and frying for another minute or two. Place on a warm dish, not on top of each other, and keep in a warm (not hot) place.

LOBSTER

Steam or boil lobster click for lobster page

"Build" towers of lobster on top of the blinis and drizzle with lemon butter made by melting unsalted butter and lemon juice. Garnish with fresh dill.

This is a starter to impress your friends and the blinis need not only be covered with lobster. Crème fraiche works well on them too.
