New York Times Cooking: Corncakes with Caviar

July 11, 2018

Ingredients:

3-4 ears of fresh corn or 2 cups frozen whole kernel corn, defrosted
⅓ cup whole milk
⅓ cup flour
¼ cup melted unsalted butter
⅓ cup cornmeal
2 large eggs
1 yolk from a large egg
3 tablespoons finely chopped chives
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
¼ cup melted unsalted butter, preferably clarified
1 cup crème fraîche
6 tablespoons golden whitefish caviar, preferably fresh
6 teaspoons black caviar, preferably fresh

Directions:

Cut the corn kernels from the cobs, enough to produce 2 cups. Put the kernels in a food processor and add 2 tablespoons milk. Blend until a little of the texture is left. There should be about 1 1/4 cups.
Put the corn in a mixing bowl and add the remaining milk, the flour, 1/4 cup melted butter and the cornmeal, stirring to blend well.
Add the eggs, egg yolk, 2 tablespoons of the chopped chives, salt and pepper and blend thoroughly.
Heat the other 1/4 cup butter, preferably clarified, in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Spoon about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the batter at a time into the skillet without letting the cakes touch. Cook about 1 1/2 minutes until golden brown on the bottom. Turn and cook on the other side until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve 4 slightly overlapping corncakes on each of 6 salad plates. Add a mound of crème fraîche in the center of the plate. Spoon 1 tablespoon golden caviar on top of the crème fraîche and 1 teaspoon black caviar on top of the golden caviar. Sprinkle with the remaining chopped chives and serve.
