Instructions: To make the Blini: In a large bowl combine flours, yeast, and sugar. Add milk and beat until batter is smooth. Cover and let rise in a warm place about 1 hour or until double in size.

Add egg yolks, butter, sour cream, and salt; mix thoroughly. In a small bowl beat egg whites until medium peaks form; fold into batter.

Heat lightly oiled griddle over medium-high heat. Spoon 1 tablespoon batter onto hot griddle, making several blini at a time. Cook until tops are bubbly and bubbles burst; turn and cook second side until golden. Keep warm.

To make the Salmon Burgers: Cut the fresh and smoked salmon into very small pieces. In a blender or food processor, pulse together, in batches, about 10 to 15 seconds each, until blended. Combine ground salmon, chives, lemon juice, olive oil, pepper, and salt; mix lightly.

Line a tray with waxed paper and spray lightly with cooking spray. Shape salmon mixture into 32 two-inch diameter patties and place on waxed paper. Spray tops of burgers with cooking spray. Cover with waxed paper and place in refrigerator for 5 minutes.

Use a spatula to transfer and arrange patties carefully on cooking grate. Grill 4 to 5 minutes for medium (160 degrees), turning once two-thirds through grilling time.

To make the appetizers, top each blini with a smoked salmon burger and a dollop of dill mustard.

This recipe yields 16 servings.

Wine Recommendation: Don"t hold back; try a brut sparkling wine from Napa. You"ll love what the golden bubbles do for the salmon.

Comments: These unbelievably delicious appetizers are worth the extra effort.

For a quick additional appetizer, you can top any extra blini with sour cream and caviar or sour cream and fruit preserves.
