For the blinis
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or other neutral oil
- 75 grams plain flour
- 0.25 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 teaspoon caster sugar
- 125 ml plant milk
For the beetroot topping
- 2 large beetroot cooked
- 250 g vegan creme fraiche
- 1 tablespoon horseradish
- pinch sea salt
- Fresh dill
To make the blinis
Place all of the dry ingredients into a mixing bowl then slowly pour in the milk, whisking well until you have a smooth, thick batter.
Add a little unflavoured oil (e.g. vegetable oil or groundnut oil) to a frying pan and place on a medium heat.
Once the pan is hot, use either a teaspoon or tablespoon (depending on the size you would like) to spoon the batter into the frying pan.
Cook for 2-3 minutes until small bubbles start to form on the surface, they are then ready to flip.
Once flipped over, cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden.
Remove them from the pan once cooked and allow to cool before topping.
To make the topping
Finely dice the cooked beetroot and put into a bowl.
Add the vegan creme fraiche and horseradish along with a pinch of salt and mix well.
Arrange blinis on a platter and top with the beetroot.
Finish off with a sprig of dill.
