Ingredients
For the blinis:
  • 3 tablespoons cornmeal
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • ⅔ cup fresh corn kernels
  • dash of cayenne pepper
  • canola oil for frying
For the salsa:
  • ½ mango, finely diced
  • ½ red onion, finely diced
  • ½ red bell pepper, finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • sour cream and cilantro as garnish
Instructions
To make the blinis:
  1. In a medium sized bowl, mix together cornmeal, flour, salt, baking powder, egg, milk, and butter. Whisk together until smooth batter forms. Stir in corn and cayenne pepper.
  2. Heat about a tablespoon of oil in a medium sized frying pan. Once oil is hot, scoop about 1 tablespoon sized dollops of batter on to pan, leaving about an inch between each (you will have to do several batches). Cook blinis for about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Flip and cook on other side for an additional 2 minutes. Transfer to plate and repeat until all batter is used, adding more oil inbetween batches if needed.
To make the salsa and assemble:
  1. Combine mango, red onion, red bell pepper, and lime juice in a medium sized bowl. Stir well and add salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Once blinis have cooled to room temperature, dollop a tablespoon or less of salsa on each and top with a little sour cream and cilantro.
