Instructions

1. Pour the buttermilk into a large bowl and add the melted butter and egg. Whisk until the egg is well beaten.
2. In another bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add to the wet ingredients.
3. Whisk until smooth and lump-free. The batter should be thick. Use it right away.
4. Preheat a griddle or non-stick pan over medium-low heat.
5. For each blini, drop 1 tablespoon of batter onto the hot griddle. When bubbles start to rise, flip it. It should be light golden brown.
6. Move the hot blini to a wire rack to cool. Do not stack them until they are at room temperature.
7. Split the eggs, separate whites from yolks. Very finely dice the whites into a ramekin. Crumble the yolks with a fork into a separate bowl.
8. Very finely dice the shallot and finely chop the capers. Put each topping into its own ramekin with a small spoon.
9. Put the crème fraîche in a small serving bowl. Add fresh dill to it if you like.
10. Serve the caviar on crushed ice, in its tin or in a glass bowl, with mother-of-pearl spoons. Arrange the toppings and blini around it on a platter, or top each blini with crème fraîche, a little of each topping and caviar.
11. Serve right away and keep the caviar well chilled.
