Steps:
- Johnnycakes: Cook bacon in a large cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium heat until crisp and browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain, then finely chop. Remove all but 1 tablespoon fat from skillet; return to medium heat. Add onion, hot and mild peppers, and 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden in places, 7 to 9 minutes. Transfer mixture to a large bowl; let cool completely.
- In a bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Add eggs, milk, sour cream, and sugar along with cooled pepper mixture, whisking just until combined (do not overmix). Stir in bacon; let stand 10 minutes.
- Avocado Cream: Halve and pit avocado; scoop flesh into the bowl of a food processor. Add sour cream, cilantro, lime zest and juice, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Process until smooth. Transfer mixture to a bowl and cover with plastic until ready to serve.
- Wipe skillet clean and return to medium heat; coat with a thin film of oil. Drop level tablespoons of batter into skillet, 2 inches apart. Cook until cakes are golden on bottoms, small bubbles form at surfaces, and edges lift slightly from pan, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until cakes are golden on bottoms and spring back when lightly pressed, 1 to 2 minutes more. (Brush pan with more oil as needed.) Top with dollops of avocado cream and chopped peppers; serve.
JALAPENO JOHNNY CAKE
A recipe that I just tossed together and it came out so well that I thought I'd post it! I'm sure you could omit the cheese and peppers and add honey or sugar to make a sweet version of this. You could also add chopped onion, green onions, green chillies, etc for a slightly different flavour. You could also put creamed corn but if you do, I'd probably decrease the amount of milk.

SPICY CHOCOLATE JALAPENO CAKE
Here's chocolate cake with a difference! This isn't a dare - jalapenos work absolutely beautifully with chocolate... And it's not as far fetched as you might think as Mayas used chili with cocoa thousands of years ago. (The amount of baking soda/powder has been changed to 2 based on the reviews.)
