Servings: persons

3 tablespoons warm water (105u00b0F to 115u00b0F)
1/2 teaspoon active dry yeast
3/4 cup whole milk, room temperature
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter, melted, cooled slightly
2 tablespoons sour cream plus additional for serving
1 large egg, separated
1/8 teaspoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
Vegetable oil (for frying)
2 ounces American caviar

1
Pour 3 tablespoons warm water into bowl. Sprinkle yeast over; stir to blend. Let stand until yeast dissolves, about 10 minutes.
2
Whisk milk, melted butter, 2 tablespoons sour cream, egg yolk, sugar, and salt into yeast mixture. Add both flours; whisk until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap; let stand at room temperature until very small bubbles begin to form on top of batter, 2 1/2 to 3 hours (batter will not rise).
3
Using electric mixer, beat egg white in another medium bowl until stiff but not dry. Fold beaten egg white and dill into batter. Brush griddle or large nonstick skillet with oil; heat over medium heat. Working in batches, drop batter by tablespoonfuls onto griddle; cook until bubbles form on top and blinis are golden on bottom, about 1 minute. Turn blinis over and cook until golden on bottom, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Transfer blinis to rimmed baking sheet. DO AHEAD:
4
Rewarm uncovered in 350u00b0F oven 5 minutes.

Serve blinis with sour cream and caviar.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
