Sweet Corn Blini

While my personal inclination is to create savory dishes and more often than not, I use an artSAVOR blend, this recipe is an example where the simplicity of the ingredients are all that's needed. These delicious little pancakes can be made ahead. Use your imagination regarding toppings, where you might infuse that element with a hint of artSAVOR! This provides a lovely vegetarian options, but you could add a little bacon, or add a touche of smoked salmon for a super savory option. Delicious quick and versatile, top with avocado, yogurt and cilantro and a bit of jalapeño or smoked trout and shallots that have been quick pickled in rice wine vinegar. Let your imagination run wild. Serve multiple versions of this same little blini and your guests will be delighted!
