These savory pancakes blend fresh corn kernels and cream into the batter for big corn flavor in every bite, while sharp cheddar and Pete & Gerry's Organic Pasture-Raised Eggs create a rich, tender texture. Finished with a drizzle of Mike's Hot Honey, they're the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and a little bit spicy.
Instructions
- Cut the kernels from all 5 ears of corn.
- Measure out about 1½ cups of kernels and add them to a blender with the heavy cream, Pete & Gerry's Eggs, Mike’s Hot Honey, and melted butter. (Reserve the remaining corn kernels for the next steps.)
- Blend until mostly smooth. A little texture is good.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined.
- Fold in the shredded cheddar and half the reserved corn kernels.
- Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Scoop about ¼ cup batter per pancake onto the hot surface and sprinkle each with remaining corn kernels (dividing the kernels between all pancakes).
- Cook until bubbles begin to appear around the edges and middle and the bottoms are golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
- Flip and cook another 2-3 minutes until cooked through.
- Transfer to a serving platter and repeat with remaining batter.
- Serve warm with a generous drizzle of Mike's Hot Honey, softened butter, and a sprinkle of chives and cilantro
Notes
This recipe can also be made with regular honey. We love Mike’s for that extra chili kick!
