Prepare the dry mixture: in a large bowl, sift the buckwheat flour and wheat flour, add baking powder, sugar, and salt. Mix with a spoon or whisk to evenly distribute the ingredients. The dry mixture should be uniform, without lumps of flour.
Description
A seasonal, eye-catching fusion snack that combines traditional Polish bliny with exotic, fresh toppings: avocado cream with an Asian-Mexican twist, juicy pomegranate seeds, and delicate smoked salmon. The dish is colorful (gray-blue from the buckwheat dough, intensely green from the avocado, ruby red from the pomegranate), with contrasting textures: soft cream, elastic bliny, crunchy pomegranate seeds, and sesame. Perfect for parties — most elements can be prepared in advance and assembled just before serving. Recommended with light prosecco, white wine, or as part of a winter buffet. The dish combines savory-smoky notes with sour-fresh flavors and a subtle sweetness from honey and lime.

Preparation steps
Pancakes
In another bowl, beat the eggs with the milk using a fork or whisk. Gradually pour the liquid into the dry ingredients, mixing from the center of the bowl towards the edges, until a smooth, slightly thick batter forms with the consistency of thick cream (it should flow from the spoon but not be watery). Add the melted, cooled butter and mix briefly once more.
Set the dough aside for 10-15 minutes to allow the flour to absorb the liquids. In the meantime, heat the pan: use a flat pan with a diameter of 24-26 cm or a small pan for mini blinis (preferably non-stick) and lightly grease it with a teaspoon of rapeseed oil.
Fry mini pancakes: spoon portions of the batter onto a heated skillet, forming round mini pancakes with a diameter of 6-7 cm. Fry over medium heat for 1.5-2 minutes, until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges slightly darken. Flip with a spatula and fry the other side for 40-60 seconds, until golden.
Avocado cream
Prepare the cream: cut the avocado in half, remove the pit and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add Greek yogurt, the juice of half a lime (about 15 ml), and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Mash with a fork or blend with a mixer until smooth. Taste and adjust with lime juice, pepper, and possibly a bit of sugar if it's too sour.
Additional ingredients
Prepare the toppings: cut the salmon into thin strips or small squares (about 2-3 cm), finely chop the dill and chives. Prepare the pomegranate seeds (hollow out the fruit and separate the seeds). If you are using sesame, toast it for 2-3 minutes in a dry pan, stirring, until it starts to smell nutty.
Assembly and serving
Assembling mini snacks: on each slightly cooled blin, spread a teaspoon of avocado cream gently in the center. Place a thin strip of salmon (rolled or folded in a ruffle) on top of the cream. Sprinkle with a few pomegranate seeds, finely chopped dill, and chives. Add a bit of sesame for crunch and optionally a thin line of honey around the cream. Before serving, drizzle with a bit of lime juice for freshness.
Finishing
Arrange the finished blinis on a large board or platter: one next to the other at equal distances. Add small bowls with extra pomegranate seeds and microgreens next to them. Serve immediately at a slightly warm/room temperature.
Fun Fact
Buckwheat blinis are a traditional element of Eastern European cuisine; combining them with avocado and lime is an example of modern fusion cuisine that blends local techniques with exotic flavors.

Tips
Serve the blinis on a flat, dark platter to enhance the contrast of colors (green cream, pink salmon, red pomegranate seeds). Pair with a glass of light, sparkling wine or chilled white wine. Place kitchen towels under the platter if the blinis will be held for a longer time to prevent them from getting soggy.
Avocado cream: up to 24 hours in a sealed container in the fridge, the surface should be in contact with plastic wrap to prevent darkening. Fried blinis: can be stored in the fridge for 24 hours, before serving heat for 2-3 minutes in the oven at 160°C. Ready-made, folded blinis: best consumed immediately; do not store for longer than 2 hours, as the blinis will become soggy.
