Ingredients

• 6 slices Bacon
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Cornmeal
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 2 teaspoons Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 large Egg
• 1.25 cups Milk
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Corn kernels (canned or fresh)
• 2 tablespoons Chives (chopped, optional)
• 2 tablespoons Cooking oil or butter (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cool, crumble it into bite-sized pieces and set aside. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the bacon grease if desired for cooking the pancakes.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat the egg and stir in the milk and melted butter.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Fold in the corn kernels, crumbled bacon, and chives if using.

Step 6

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking oil, butter, or reserved bacon grease.

Step 7

Scoop 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 9

Repeat with the remaining batter, re-greasing the skillet as needed.

Step 10

Serve the pancakes warm with sour cream, extra chives, or a drizzle of maple syrup if desired.
