Method

step 1

Make the blinis; put the flour and baking powder in a bowl, make a well in the middle and add the egg, milk and melted butter. Whisk until you have a smooth thick batter.
step 2

Heat a little more butter in a frying pan over a medium heat and fry small spoonfuls of the batter for 2-3 mins on each side until golden. Repeat with the remaining batter.
step 3

Fry the bacon in a frying pan over a low-medium heat until golden, then drain off any excess fat. Stir in the maple syrup, then remove from heat and leave to cool.
step 4

Spread the Boursin Garlic and Herbs over the blinis on a tray or platter. Top a third with the gherkin toppings, a third with the candied bacon and chives, and the remaining third with the salmon topper. Serve immediately.
