  4. 1 envelope of Cowboy Tom’s dry ingredients (there are 3 envelopes
  5. per package)
  6. 1 large egg
  7. 2 cups milk
  8. ½ cup milk
  9. 2 ripe avocados (diced)
  10. Imitation crab meat cut into small pieces

  6. 3. Prepare pancakes as directed on Cowboy Tom’s packaging then stir in by hand, chives, salt and pepper.
  7. 4. Heat griddle over moderate heat until very hot and spray with
  8. vegetable oil spray. Spoon 1-tablespoon mounds of batter onto the griddle and cook until bubbles form around the edges of the blini, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook the blini for about 30 seconds longer.
  9. 5. Transfer the blini to a platter
  10. 6. Toss the crab and avocado in dressing lightly
  11. 7. Top blini with a thin layer of sauce, then cucumber slice, avocado and crab mixture, then chive flower
Notes
  1. The pancake can be made a day ahead of time and then warmed up in the microwave just before adding smoked salmon to serve.
  2. Many people think buckwheat is a cereal grain. It is actually a fruit seed that is related to rhubarb & sorrel. It contains no protein glutens. Studies show buckwheat help lower the risk of high cholesterol and high blood pressure.
