Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk (or plant-based alternative)
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or thawed frozen)
  • 6 strips thick-cut bacon, cooked and chopped
  • 2 tbsp butter (plus more for greasing)
  • Pinch of salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Drain excess fat on paper towels and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. In another bowl, beat the eggs with the milk until smooth.
  4. Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry mixture until just combined—do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the bacon bits and corn.
  6. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and grease with butter. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake; cook until bubbles form on top (about 3 minutes), then flip to cook until golden brown.
  7. Serve warm with maple syrup or your favorite toppings.
