Blinis with Caviar
Ingredients:
200g whole wheat flour
50g all-purpose flour
20g brewer's yeast
100ml milk
100g melted butter
6 egg yolks
6 egg whites, beaten until stiff peaks form
Procedure:
In a large bowl, mix the two flours and create a well in the center. Dissolve the brewer's yeast in warm milk and pour it into the well. Let it rest for about 10 minutes until the yeast starts to react.
Add melted butter to the flours and mix well.
Add the egg yolks one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Allow the dough to rest, covered with a cloth, in a warm place for about two hours or until it doubles in size. Meanwhile, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the risen dough.
Mix from top to bottom to maintain lightness in the egg whites.
Heat a lightly greased non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour a ladle of batter into the heated pan. Cook the blinis until bubbles appear on the surface. Flip them and cook on the other side until golden brown. Continue cooking the remaining batter, keeping the blinis warm. Serve the blinis with sour cream and caviar.
You can garnish with fresh chives for a touch of freshness.

These blinis will be soft, light, and delicious, perfect to enjoy with sour cream and caviar. Enjoy your meal!
