 I am not sure how it is in your part of the world but at the moment here it is terrible weather. It seems that the short burst of spring kind of disappeared for a while. Too bad as I was so looking forward to have a long weekend during Easter with lots of sunshine...

You know this is truly one of my favourite dishes?? I love salmon and I love blinis, the combination of both is pure heaven… [Reply]

I love salmon but had never tried blinis before, looks like pancake. Would like to try this simple recipe. Thanks! [Reply]

Salmon and blinis, a classic that I never get tired of! Beautiful! [Reply]

ooh these look like the perfect appetizers for a easter menu or buffet. i love salmon and the variations you have presented with the belinis are awesome! [Reply]

These blinis look like crumpets we make in Czech Republic http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crumpet. I remember that my mum used to have a special pan with 4 “holes” for them. I have to try to make your blinis to find out if the taste is same! [Reply]

Hmm I would have them for breakfast! Hehe. I am sorry to hear about the weather, here we are finally having some really nice weather and I am really really enjoying it. I hope winter is gone for good! [Reply]

They look so good with the salmon! All three varieties look delicious, actually, but I’ve been craving salmon lately. [Reply]

Simone! Ever since I mistakenly posted mine at the wrong time I have been anxiously waiting for your post! Now that it’s here I can tell it was worth the wait! I didn’t realize blinis has yeast in them! So interesting and they look amazing. Hope the weather improves! [Reply]

These look great! I have some buckwheat flour in the cupboard and I have been meaning to make blinis for a while now. I will use your recipe, it looks so easy! [Reply] 
Pam - April 1, 2010 - 14:33
Oh, I love salmon and the blinis only makes it better! It looks delicious! Great photos! [Reply] 
Koko - April 1, 2010 - 19:01
Looks delicious! I love how can you can make them sweet or savoury! [Reply] 
peter - April 1, 2010 - 22:31
Simone, like;em all but if I were at a party I’d probably hang around the smoke salmon table! [Reply] 
Esi - April 1, 2010 - 22:37
I made smoked salmon blinis a few years ago at a potluck. They were soooo good! I love your sweet version too. [Reply] 
Angela@spinachtiger - April 2, 2010 - 03:11
Beautiful outstanding, made me hungry and I just ate. I’ll be thinking about blinis all week now. Especially the salmon. But usually, I agree with you that pancakes should be sweet. Stunning post, made my mouth water. [Reply] 
Olga @ MangoTomato - April 2, 2010 - 03:33
who cares if they are authentic or not??? they look amazing. all you are missing is some black caviar btw how awesome that our pancakes with raspberries look almost the same!? thanks for the bday wishes: it was a good one! [Reply]

I am so excited seeing your variations of this blinis. Savory or sweet, you have managed to make them all look great and delicious. The shots are appertizing as usual. Thumbs up, especially the first photo, my favorite…. Sawadee from Bangkok, [Reply] 
Cherine - April 2, 2010 - 08:43
Delicious and SOOO beautiful. Your pictures are fantastic as usual [Reply]

Your blinis look so good & tasty!! I wish you & your family a Happy Easter! [Reply] 
Chef Aimee - April 4, 2010 - 01:36
One of my best friends is Russian and his mom makes blinis all the time. Yours and your versions of how to incorporate them into dishes are DIVINE! [Reply] 
Kaitlin - April 4, 2010 - 21:36
These look amazing! I love smoked salmon. Also, how is it that I’ve never come across your site before? It’s amazing! I’m going to dig through your archives for awhile [Reply] 
liz@zested - April 5, 2010 - 03:11
Aw, better luck on the weather soon. We had our first really nice weekend and it feels like coming back to life after winter. I have to say, though, these blinis would be quite the consolation prize – they look great. [Reply] 
joey - April 5, 2010 - 12:34
I have only had blinis once in my life can you believe?? These look delicious and elegant! [Reply] 
Jenn AKA The Leftover Queen - April 5, 2010 - 16:29
Those look absolutely delicious. I love smoked salmon on anything. In fact I just posted a similar thing, but instead of blinis, oat cakes. I think smoked salmon really is a spring kind of food. Yours dishes look wonderful! Sorry you didn’t get to work in your garden, but I hope you had a wonderful weekend! [Reply] 
kathy - April 5, 2010 - 20:07
At first I though it’s pancake. lol. It looks great. Surely they are yummy. Just looking at the photos makes me hungry. [Reply]

The last time I made blinis was the first time. I made them for our wedding. Buckwheat blinis with creme fraiche and three caviars. I still remember how luxurious they were. I loved them… but they are also a considerable amount of work as I like to see them like yours… similar in size. Thanks for the reminder. I will have to put this back on my appetizer list and try your recipe next. [Reply] 
dharson - April 6, 2010 - 13:16
I also want to make this for a long time, the blinis. [Reply] 
Olesya - April 7, 2010 - 02:00
Ok, this look good and everything, but please don’t call these “blinis” becasue they are not. Also, the word “blini” is already plural, no need to say bliniS. Blini look like crepes, period, there is no regional variations whatsoever. If you were to look up crepes, you would not see pancake looking things. Same with blini. The batter use for blini is totaly different as well. These are pancakes and they are not going to turn into blini if you put some salmon with sour cream on them.

Simone, your blinis look gorgeous, and with 3 kinds of toppings! Yum. [Reply]

 Blini’s are traditional Russian buckwheat pancakes. Why is a blini different then a regular pancake? Apart from the different method of baking them and the fact that you need to incorporate yeast in the mix etc. I really didn’t taste that big of a difference with the pancakes we would normally make here. I had...

I love blini’s! I have the same issue of this fab magazine!! Your pictures look delectable!! MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM,…I love the addition of the nectarines & maple syrop!!! [Reply] 
Christelle - July 30, 2009 - 18:08
I have tasted blinis made by a russian person once (yup just the once), and they were amazing, very different fr pancakes… never been able to taste them since, the recipe has to be different, is it the method, the ingredients? no idea…. Also, blue cheese indeed is great with fruits, my fav combo is banana and cambozola, to die for!!! [Reply] Simone (junglefrog) Reply: What a great taste combo Christelle… Oooo, that is for sure what I will be making for the next time! Banana and cambozola… [Reply]
Valérie - July 30, 2009 - 18:54
I love blinis, but have never made them. My mother buys them and we eat them with smoked salmon for Christmas; I think the storebought ones did taste different from pancakes, but well, who knows what they put in them? I would definitely want to make them myself at some point (hopefully in the not too distant future). And I will eat blue cheese on anything, especially when it’s paired with sweetness! Thanks for the inspiration! [Reply] 
nina - July 30, 2009 - 21:19
I like your sweet take on this favorite!!!! I can’t taste mush of a difference either between blinis and normal pancakes, but at least buckwheat is good for you!!! [Reply] 
Peter G - July 31, 2009 - 01:31
I think these turned out beautiful Simone…nice combination of flavours with the cheese and fruit. [Reply]
Ben - July 31, 2009 - 01:53
Hmmm the combination of flavors is great, fruit, cheese and Russian pancakes make a perfect breakfast (or dinner, lol) I am in love with your pictures! I could just eat them :-p [Reply]
anncoo - July 31, 2009 - 03:10
Your pictures taken are really beautiful and the pancakes look so yummy. [Reply] 
Nutmeg Nanny - July 31, 2009 - 03:47
I love your flavor combination! Blue cheese and nectarines…yum! The little blinis remind me of silver dollar pancakes. [Reply] 
Hannah - July 31, 2009 - 03:52
That first photo is *breath-taking*! That’s not possibly real maple syrup, is it? What an incredible capture! [Reply] 
peachkins - July 31, 2009 - 06:29
Those Blini’s look wonderful. They look like extra yummy pancakes! [Reply] 
kuiriale - July 31, 2009 - 08:14
great pics! welldone! I love your photos! [Reply] 
Simone (junglefrog) - July 31, 2009 - 08:53
@ Hannah: No it’s not real maple syrup. That is not something you can easily find here. This is just plain honey.. @kuiriale: I’ve never heard of oladys! Gonna look that up now! @Valerie: You should definitely try and make them. It’s really quite easy to do… [Reply]
Soma - July 31, 2009 - 16:38
I have heard of a Moroccan Pancake/Crepe which uses yeast in the same way. love the combination of you done here. i could have this as a mail meal. [Reply]
FoodJunkie - July 31, 2009 - 16:50
Great combination and beautiful photos as always. I think that the main difference is the use of buckwheat flour in much larger quantities than 35g. Other than that, they are basically pancakes! [Reply]
liz {zested} - July 31, 2009 - 17:29
Love how you captured the honey mid-pour. Did you take many takes? Did you have help with the pouring or have the camera set up on a tripod? [Reply] Simone (junglefrog) Reply: Thanks Liz… Well, as far as many takes go… This was the first shot! Lucky I guess… [Reply] 
Olga - July 31, 2009 - 21:05
wow, those are some INCREDIBLE photos!!!! [Reply] 
Philomena - August 1, 2009 - 15:03
Wow, these look fabulous – I’m so intrigued by this taste combination. [Reply] 
Jen @ MaplenCornbread - August 2, 2009 - 04:59
WOW each of these photos are superb!!!! Im in awe!!! [Reply] 
Lauren B. - August 2, 2009 - 05:47
Just had to pop in and compliment you on the food photo! It really popped out of the page at Tastespotting. Beautiful composition. Might have to try my hand at low carb blinis. They look wonderful! [Reply] 
JanAnd - November 15, 2009 - 02:25
For future reference: One pancake is a ‘blin,’ and more pancakes are ‘blini,’ Notice correct usage in Olga’s comment. [Reply]
