MANCAKES

Sweet/savory hybrids can be tricky sometimes but I think this worked beautifully. We are talking about bacon, cheese, and onions after all, so it wasn't that big of a shock. The way the chipotle-spiced maple syrup brought everything together was a risk well rewarded.

Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 17

8 ounces bacon, chopped
½ cup thinly sliced green onions
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup cornmeal
1 tablespoon baking powder
¾ teaspoon salt
1 pinch ground black pepper
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 ⅓ cups milk
2 ounces sharp Cheddar cheese, grated
2 large eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 cup warm maple syrup, or to taste
⅛ teaspoon chipotle chile powder, or to taste
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon butter

Steps:

  • Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes; remove from heat. Stir green onions into bacon and saute in hot fat until slightly softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer bacon mixture to a strainer to drain, retaining drippings.
  • Whisk flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper together in a large bowl. Add drained bacon mixture, milk, Cheddar cheese, eggs, melted butter, and sugar to flour mixture; whisk until batter is smooth. Let batter rest for 10 minutes.
  • Combine maple syrup and chipotle chile powder together in a small bowl; whisk until chile powder is completely dissolved.
  • Heat 1 teaspoon bacon drippings, 1 teaspoon oil, and 1 teaspoon butter on a griddle over medium-high heat. Drop batter by 1/4-cupful onto the griddle and cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter. Transfer pancakes to plate and top with maple syrup.

SAVORY BACON-CHEDDAR PANCAKES WITH CORN AND JALAPEñO RECIPE



Savory Bacon-Cheddar Pancakes With Corn and Jalapeño Recipe image

Who ever said American pancakes have to be sweet? What's stopping us from savory-ing them up? That's exactly what these pancakes are. They start with a basic American-style pancake recipe, but they come stuffed with crisp bacon, sautéed corn, jalapeño peppers, scallions, and-the kicker-pockets of gooey melted cheddar cheese.

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
4 ounces bacon, cut into fine dice
1 1/2 cups fresh corn kernels (from about 2 ears of corn)
1 to 2 red or green jalapeño peppers, stemmed, seeded, and minced
8 scallions, thinly sliced (divided)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup (about 5 ounces) fine yellow cornmeal
1 cup (about 5 ounces) all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons honey, plus more for serving
2 eggs
10 ounces (about 1 1/4 cup) cultured buttermilk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for oiling pan or griddle
4 ounces cheddar cheese, cut into 1/4-inch cubes

Steps:

  • Cook undisturbed until edges of pancakes begin to set and bubbles start to break the top surface, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Carefully flip the pancakes with a thin, flexible spatula and cook on second side until golden brown and completely set, about 2 minutes longer. Transfer to a wire rack set in a rimmed baking sheet in a warm oven while you cook the remaining pancakes. Serve, garnished with remaining scallions and drizzled with honey.
