Ingredients
For the blinis
-
3
tablespoons cornmeal
-
1/2
cup all purpose flour
-
1/4
teaspoon salt
-
1/4
teaspoon baking powder
-
1
egg, beaten
-
1/2
cup milk
-
1
tablespoon melted butter
-
2/3
cup fresh corn kernels
-
dash or cayenne pepper
-
canola oil for frying
For the salsa

1/2
red onion, finely diced
-
1/2
red bell pepper, finely diced
-
2
tablespoons lime juice

Directions
- 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.
- 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.
- Combine mango, red onion, red bell pepper, and lime juice in a medium sized bowl. Stir well and add salt and pepper to taste.
- 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.
