Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, snipped chives, and white wine; season with salt and pepper to taste and set aside to let flavors meld.
  2. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the blanched corn, egg, salt, baking powder, chili powder, masa corn flour, regular flour, and milk until a smooth batter forms.
  3. Heat a griddle or nonstick skillet over medium heat and brush lightly with vegetable oil.
  4. Spoon tablespoonfuls of the corn batter onto the hot griddle, flattening slightly if needed, and cook until the bottom forms a golden crust.
  5. Carefully turn the cakes and cook the other side until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Remove cakes from the griddle and keep warm while cooking the remaining batter.
  7. Garnish the warm corn cakes with capers and chopped hard-boiled egg yolks and whites.
  8. Serve immediately with the chive sour cream dip on the side.
