Prepare the blini batter: in a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and salt. Add the egg, warm milk and melted butter. Whisk until you have a smooth, even batter. Leave to rest for 10 minutes.

Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add a little oil or butter, then pour in tablespoons of batter to form mini pancakes (5 cm in diameter). Cook for 1 minute on each side and set aside. Prepare the three toppings at the same time:

3

Version 1: place a slice of foie gras on a blini, add the fig slices, fleur de sel and microgreens.

4

Version 2: add thin slices of pear, crumbled Roquefort cheese and crushed walnuts.

5

Version 3: mix the Isigny cream, zest, juice, dill and pepper, then spread on the blinis. Top with slices of smoked trout.

6

Arrange the blinis on a platter and garnish with dill and microgreens.
