Corn and Leek Savoury Pancakes

These turned out way better than I expected. They were so moorish even without any added salt or condiments.

The recipe calls for a whole leek, finely sliced. This may seem a lot, but it adds a wonderful texture to the pancakes without being overpowering, or even seeming obvious. The cauliflower also adds extra nutrition and flavour to the recipe. My toddler certainly didn't seem to notice the extra vege content. She was even happy to eat them cold for lunch the following day.

Serve them hot with avocado and tomato salsa, and for that extra wow factor, top with grilled prawns.
