Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 pancakes
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or canned)
- 4 strips of bacon, cooked and crumbled
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, beat the large egg and then add milk. Whisk until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently. Stir until just combined - some small lumps are okay. Overmixing can result in tough pancakes.
- Fold in the corn kernels and crumbled bacon pieces, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or oil to lightly coat the cooking surface.
- Using a 1/4 cup measure, pour batter onto the hot skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look slightly dry, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully flip the pancake and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Repeat with remaining batter, adding more butter or oil to the pan as needed.
- Serve warm with maple syrup, additional crumbled bacon, or your preferred pancake toppings.
Tips
- Use fresh corn kernels when possible for the best flavor and texture, but high-quality canned corn works great too.
- Cook your bacon until it's crispy before crumbling to ensure maximum crunch in your pancakes.
- Don't overmix the batter - a few small lumps are perfectly fine and will help keep your pancakes tender.
- Use a medium heat setting to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
- Let the pancake batter rest for 2-3 minutes before cooking to help the flour absorb the liquid and create a more tender pancake.
- Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low-temperature oven (around 200°F) while preparing the entire batch.
- For extra flavor, try using bacon fat instead of butter when greasing your cooking surface.
- Experiment with toppings like a drizzle of maple syrup, extra crumbled bacon, or a sprinkle of chives for added excitement.
