# What You'll Need:

01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour or rice flour for gluten-free option
02 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
03 - 1 teaspoon baking soda
04 - 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

→ Wet Ingredients

05 - 2 tablespoons honey
06 - 2 cups buttermilk
07 - 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
08 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

→ Mix-Ins

09 - 1/2 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels
10 - 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, cubed or shredded
11 - 1/2 cup jalapeños, thinly sliced or diced
12 - 1/2 cup bacon, cooked and crumbled
13 - 2 green onions, chopped

# Directions:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly blended.
02 - In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, honey, eggs, and melted butter until smooth.
03 - Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold together just until combined. Avoid overmixing for tender pancakes.
04 - Add the corn, cheddar cheese, jalapeños, bacon, and green onions to the batter. Gently fold until distributed.
05 - Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with oil or butter if necessary.
06 - Ladle 1/4 to 1/3 cup batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, about 1-2 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown, 1-2 minutes more.
07 - Transfer pancakes to a plate. Serve warm with desired accompaniments.

# Notes:

01 - For extra crispiness, use thick-cut bacon. Adjust jalapeño quantity to control spiciness.
