Looking for a tasty and versatile dish that you can enjoy any time of day? Look no further than these easy and delicious savory corn cheese pancakes! Packed with the flavors of sweet corn, smoky bacon, and melty cheese, these pancakes are a crowd-pleaser. Whether you're enjoying them for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, they're sure to satisfy your cravings. To make these pancakes, start by adding your cornbread mix to a bowl. If you don't have a mix, you can use your own cornbread recipe. Add half a cup of the mix to the bowl, followed by milk, melted butter, and an egg. Mix everything together until just combined. Next, it's time to add the mix-ins. Add an equal amount of corn (fresh or frozen) as the cornbread mix. Add cooked and crumbled bacon for some extra flavor. You can use either melty mozzarella or cheddar cheese, depending on your preference. Don't forget to add in some scallions or green onions, as well as salt and pepper to taste. Give the mixture a final mix until all the ingredients are well incorporated. Now, it's time to cook the pancakes. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add oil. Using an ice cream scooper, drop the batter onto the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Once the pancakes are cooked, stack them up on a plate. To add some flair, garnish them with shredded green onions. For a Korean twist, prepare a sauce by mixing sour cream, gochujang (Korean chili paste), sesame oil, and lime juice. You can either leave the sauce for dipping or dollop it in the center of the pancakes. To top it off, sprinkle some black garlic on top for an extra burst of flavor. The result is a delightful combination of sweet corn, smoky bacon, and creamy melted cheese. Each bite is a burst of flavors, enhanced by the tangy and spicy gochujang sauce. These pancakes are perfect for satisfying your taste buds, and you can easily make them using ingredients you already have in your pantry. Try this recipe today and enjoy a delicious meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Thank you for watching!
