How to Chop Herbs

Method

1. Sift flour into a large bowl. Make a well in the centre.

2. In a jug, whisk together milk and egg. Season to taste. Gradually whisk milk mixture into flour to make a smooth batter. Stir in cheese and 2 tablespoons of dill. Cover and set aside for 20 minutes.

3. Heat a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Brush with butter. Drop teaspoonfuls of batter into the pan in batches, allowing room for spreading. Cook for 1-2 minutes until

bubbles appear. Turn and cook for 1 minute until lightly browned. Transfer to a rack to cool. Continue with remaining batter.

4. When ready to serve, spread blini with cream cheese. Top with a slice of smoked salmon, extra dill and black pepper, with lemon wedges on the side.

Tip: If you can’t find dill, substitute this with chopped parsley.
