Ingredients

  • 4 ears corn
  • 125g (½ cup) plain flour
  • 125g (½ cup) fine cornmeal
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 250ml (1 cup) Greek yoghurt
  • 40g (½ cup) butter, melted
  • Cooking spray
  • 180g (½ cup) Capilano Pure Honey
  • 2 jalapeño chillies
  • 300ml sour cream (or crème fraiche), to serve
  • 250g smoked salmon, to serve
  • Lime wedges, to serve
  • Dill or fennel fronds, to garnish
  1. Using a box grater, coarsely grate raw corn kernels. Set aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, egg, and yoghurt. Whisk to combine. Add grated corn and melted butter. Whisk again, and set aside for 10 minutes.
  3. Preheat a large pan on medium and spray with oil. Drop generous tablespoons of batter into pan, leaving gaps for spreading.
  4. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbling and golden on bottom. Flip and cook for 30-60 seconds. Once golden, transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining batter.
  5. To make the jalapeño honey, de-stem and roughly chop one jalapeño and add to a small saucepan with the honey. Bring to a gentle simmer over low heat for 2-3 minutes. Strain out the jalapeño and set the honey aside to cool. Just prior to serving, de-seed and finely chop the remaining jalapeño and add to the cooled honey.
  6. To serve: spoon sour cream onto blini and top with smoked salmon, drizzle of jalapeno honey and dill. Serve with lime wedges.
