Time 30m

Yield Makes about 30 blini

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
2 cups corn kernels, from about 4 ears corn
1 egg beaten
1 cup thick plain yogurt, plus a few tablespoons milk if necessary
8 tablespoons melted butter, plus more for greasing griddle
Salt and pepper
1/4 cup crème fraîche
2 tablespoons snipped chives for garnish

Steps:

  • Put flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt and sugar in a mixing bowl. Grind 1 cup corn kernels to a rough purée in a food processor, then add egg and yogurt, and pulse to mix. Add corn mixture to flour mixture and stir together until just mixed to make a thick batter. Stir in 4 tablespoons melted butter. Set aside for 5 minutes. Thin with a little milk if necessary. (Batter may be prepared several hours ahead.)
  • Warm remaining 4 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add remaining 1 cup corn kernels. Season with salt and pepper, then cook for 1 minute or so to heat through. Keep warm.
  • Put greased griddle or cast-iron pan over medium heat. Using 1 tablespoon batter, make pancakes about 2 1/2 inches in diameter. Cook for 1 minute, until bubbles appear on surface and pancakes are lightly browned. Flip and cook for 30 seconds more. (Be sure to keep heat moderate or else the pancakes will blacken.) Pancakes may be cooked in advance and reheated.
  • To serve, place 3 hot pancakes on small plate. Top with spoonful of cooked corn and some of the butter from the pan. Drizzle with crème fraîche and sprinkle with chives.

These blini were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had added some more salt and pepper.

I had some trouble getting the blini to cook evenly. Some of them were overcooked while others were still undercooked.

These were a little too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed them.

These blini were a hit at my brunch party! They were light and fluffy, with a slightly sweet corn flavor. I served them with smoked salmon and crème fraîche, and they were absolutely delicious.
