Instructions/ Εκτέλεση
For the Pancakes
In a bowl add all the dry ingredients.
Add the egg, milk, crème fraiche, oil and chives and mix until everything is incorporated.
In a skillet add some butter in medium heat.
If you have metal cookie molds with Christmas themes take them out and place them inside the skillet.
Add one spoon of the batter inside the mold and cook them just like you cook pancakes.
It takes about 30 seconds each side.
Remove, let them cool and place them in the fridge.
For the Cream Cheese
Mix everything and place it in the fridge.
Assembly of the Smoked Salmon Canapés
Take 12 of the little pancakes and spread with a piping bag some cream cheese.
Cut the salmon fillet in 12 strips and add one in each pancake.
Decorate on top with a small piece of lime and fresh dill.
For the Shrimps Canapés
In a skillet pour 1 to 2 tbsp of olive oil and in high heat sauté the shrimps for one minute adding salt and smoked paprika.
Pour ¼ of the Marsala wine and cook until it is completely absorbed.
At that point remove the shrimps and either you keep them in the fridge for later or put the aside and keep them warm until served.
In the same skillet add the rest of the Marsala wine, scrape the skillet and pour the corn starch.
Let it boil for a few seconds until it thickens
Remove and set aside.
Assembly of the Shrimps Canapés
Take the rest 12 pancakes
Add the rest of the cream cheese.
Top with one shrimp per canapé and drizzle about ¼ tsp of the Marsala sauce.
Garnish with parsley.
Note: The Marsala sauce must be warm so either you make it a few minutes before serving them or make it in advance and warm it up adding another ¼ cup of the wine just before serving it.
