Spiced corn cakes
Background
These spiced corn cakes are the combination of pancakes and blini. They are lovely snacks at drink-parties or picnics; alternatively can be served with a green salad for a laid-back lunch or brunch.
Ingredients
- 2 cob of the corn
- 40g maze or brown rice flour
- 30g spelt or buckwheat flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 3 eggs
- 1 bunch spring onions
- 1 handful of chives
- 2 chillies
- 100 ml crème fraîche or Greek yogurt
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Cook the corn in water until tender. Drain and cool, then using a sharp knife, cut off the kernels.
- Deseed the chilli and remove the veins - discard these, then finely chop the flesh. Slice the onion into small rings, chop the chives into a 3-5 mm pieces.
- Lightly whisk the eggs.
- In a large bowl mix the two versions of flour with the baking powder. Add the eggs and combine until you get a smooth batter. Add the chopped spring onions, chilli, chives, then mix in enough yogurt to get thick batter.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan and add a few dollops of the batter, flattening them slightly with the spoon. Cook on each side for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
- Transfer them to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
