Jalapeno Corn Pancakes - A Spicy Twist on Classic Pancakes
Jalapeno Corn Pancakes are a delicious and unique twist on classic pancakes. These pancakes are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even as a side dish for dinner. The combination of sweet corn and spicy jalapenos creates a flavor explosion in your mouth that will leave you wanting more.

Ingredients (serves 4):

- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or canned)
- 1/4 cup diced jalapenos (fresh or canned)

Cooking Tips:

- To make the pancakes fluffier, separate the egg whites from the yolks and beat the whites until stiff peaks form. Fold the egg whites into the batter just before cooking.
- If you prefer a milder flavor, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapenos before dicing them.
- Serve with butter and maple syrup or top with sour cream and salsa for a savory twist.

Cooking Process:

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and melted butter.
3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
4. Fold in the corn kernels and diced jalapenos.
5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Scoop 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
6. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake, then flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
7. Repeat with the remaining batter.
