Ingredients:

100 g spelt flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
150 ml milk
2 eggs, separated
200 g hot-smoked salmon, flaked
150 g crème fraîche
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped
1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
Pinch of ground nutmeg
Pinch of ground cinnamon
Salt and pepper, to taste
Pomegranate seeds

Instructions:

1 Prepare the blini batter
In a bowl, mix spelt flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Whisk milk and egg yolks in another bowl, then combine with the dry ingredients. Fold in whipped egg whites for a fluffy batter. Cook small spoonfuls in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat until bubbles appear, flip, and cook until golden.
2 Make the festive crème fraîche
Mix crème fraîche with lemon juice, finely chopped dill, and parsley. Add a pinch of ground nutmeg and cinnamon for a subtle Christmas warmth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3 Assemble and garnish
Top each blini with flaked hot-smoked salmon, a dollop of festive crème fraîche, and garnish with pomegranate seeds, a sprig of dill, and edible gold flakes for a sparkling holiday touch.
