3 egg whites
seasoning

Combine milk, yolks and yeast and allow to sit at room temperature for 10 mins.
Whisk into flour, season with sea salt and cracked white pepper and prove for 1 hour.
Whisk whites to stiff peaks and gently fold into mix.
Pipe rounds 2.5cm in diameter into a non-stick pan over medium-low heat.
Turn when golden, approx. 30-60 seconds each side.

Dill Mascarpone

100 g mascarpone
5 sprigs dill

Pick dill and finely chop.
Combine with mascarpone adding a little hot water at a time to achieve a smooth consistency.

500 g/1 side smoked salmon
50 g salmon roe
2 sprigs dill for garnish

With a sharp knife slice salmon horizontally to 1mm thickness.

To make salmon roses take an 8 x 2 x 0.1 piece and cut off the top right corner and fold down over itself.
Roll with the square end in the middle and tuck the tapered end in over the top.
Repeat until you have the same quantity of salmon roses to blinis.
