Let's Get Cooking!

• Make the Blinis: In a food processor, blitz the corn kernels, roasted red pepper, and 2 tablespoons of heavy cream until finely chopped. Set aside.

• Whisk Together Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

• Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the beaten egg, melted butter (1 tablespoon), and remaining heavy cream. Gradually whisk in the dry ingredients until just combined. Fold in the creamed corn mixture.

• Cook the Blinis: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Melt another tablespoon of butter. Pour about 1- tablespoonfuls of batter per blini, leaving space for spreading. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more butter as needed.

• Assemble and Serve: Arrange the blinis on a platter. Top each blini with a dollop of crème fraîche, a slice of smoked salmon, and a small spoonful of caviar. Garnish with fresh chives and serve immediately.

Tips and Tricks:

• For a richer blini flavor, you can substitute crème fraîche for some of the heavy cream in the batter.

• If caviar seems like a splurge, don't fret! You can substitute it with lumpfish roe for a more affordable option.

• Leftover blinis can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a pan before serving.
