Corn, Leek, And Bacon Pancakes

Once you have these savory pancakes you might never go back to the traditional stack.
‎
‎If you prefer a savory breakfast to a sweet one, or you're cooking up breakfast for dinner, these savory pancakes are a must. After sautéing bacon until it's crispy, save the drippings to infuse leeks with smoky-sweet flavor as they cook. Then put a twist on the traditional buttermilk-based pancake batter by adding cornmeal and sweet corn for extra texture. The batter cooks into savory, fluffy flapjacks begging for a dollop of sour cream and a generous sprinkling of chives. These pancakes have a Southern hoecake vibe with a unique richness.

6 slices bacon, chopped

1 leek, sliced into 1/4-in. half-moons (1 1/2 cups)

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup fine yellow cornmeal

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt

2 cups whole buttermilk

2 large eggs, lightly beaten

3 tablespoons pure maple syrup, plus more for serving

1 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, (2-3) divided



Procedure

1. Preheat oven to 200°F. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium. Add bacon; cook until crisp, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate, reserving 2 tablespoons drippings in skillet. Add leek; cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

2. Whisk flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Stir in buttermilk, eggs, and syrup until just combined. Fold in bacon, leek, and corn.

3. Wipe skillet. Melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium. Drop batter by 1/4 cupfuls into skillet.

4. Cook until bubbles burst on surface of pancakes, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip; cook, reducing heat as needed, until set in center, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack set in a baking sheet and keep warm in oven. Repeat with remaining batter, adding butter as needed. Serve with chives, syrup, and sour cream.
