170 ml Lukewarm water; (6fl oz)

70 g White plain flour; (2 1/2oz)

6 sl Smoked salmon
100 ml Fromage frais or crŠme

To make the blinis, mix the egg yolk with the flour, dried yeast and then
the lukewarm water. Whisk well and cover with a damp tea towel, leave in a
warm place until doubled in volume (approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours).

Whisk in the milk to make a batter consistency and then cover again, leave
until small bubbles appear on the surface, about 1 hour. Whisk the egg
white until it forms stiff peaks, then gently fold into the batter. Cook as
for griddle scones.

Take 2 of the blinis and place some fromage frais or crŠme fraiche on one,
a little smoked salmon and a few florets of broccoli on top. Then with the
other blini simply place on top and serve it like a sandwich. Repeat with
remaining blinis.

Grate the apples and the carrots together and mix in the fromage frais with
a few broken walnuts. To finish the salad add a little black pepper and mix
well. Serve on the plate with some leaves of crispy lettuce and the blini
and salmon sandwiches.
