Pikelets: Sift the flour mixed with baking powder into a bowl. Make a well in the center. Mix the eggs, milk, and sour cream and pour in. Stir into the flour until the batter is smooth and lump-free. Let it rest for 10 minutes. Heat a large frying pan, brush with oil or melted butter, and add the batter a teaspoon at a time. When bubbles form on the surface, turn the pikelets over and cook on the other side. Remove and set aside. Repeat with the remaining batter. Topping: Mix the sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, chives, and peppermint (optional) well. Spread a little of the mixture on each pikelet. Place a piece of smoked salmon on top and garnish with lemon zest. Tip: The pikelets can be prepared the day before or frozen side by side for up to 1 month. The topping can also be prepared the day before. Assemble the pikelets up to 1 hour before serving.
