When I was a caterer, I served mountains of caviar at parties...and at my own soirées, too!  More than once I was faced with what to do with a pound or so of leftover caviar.  Obviously, the answer was to make a pile of blini and invite friends over for an indulgent meal.  If you are lucky enough to have some caviar for your New Year's Eve celebration, try this authentic recipe made with buckwheat flour and sour cream.  And remember, these are pancakes that should not be served hot.  In fact, the heat would warm the cold caviar.  So make them a few hours ahead of serving, but keep them at room temperature.  With some sparkling wine to wash it all down, blini and caviar are a fine way to bring in the new year.
