Blinis are extremely useful to have in your repertoire, especially when entertaining, because they provide a great foundation for a wide range of canapés.

Blinis are Russian pancakes, traditionally made with a mixture of wheat and buckwheat flour. The buckwheat brings a robustness and a hearty, nutty flavour which makes blinis a solidly savoury snack, unlike most other pancakes.

Everyone should have a few decent canapés in their cooking repertoire – an excellent way to welcome guests and make the occasion more memorable. The key is to maximise visual impact and flavour without having to do huge amounts of work. It should also be a recipe which is easily scaled up to suit the number of diners.
