Jalapeno Cornmeal Pancakes Recipes

Steps:

• Combine first 3 ingredients in large bowl.
• Whisk eggs, milk and 1/4 cup sour cream until blended. Add to flour mixture; stir just until blended. Stir in cheddar and peppers.
• Ladle batter onto hot griddle or into hot skillet sprayed with cooking spray, using 1/4 cup batter for each pancake; cook until bubbles form on tops, then turn to brown other sides. Meanwhile, mix cream cheese spread and remaining sour cream until blended.
• Serve pancakes topped with cream cheese mixture.

Steps:

• Prepare the toppings: Fry the bacon in a medium nonstick skillet until crisp. Meanwhile, make the syrup: Heat the marmalade, 1/3 cup orange juice, the scallions and jalapeno in as small saucepan over low heat. Add more orange juice if the syrup is too thick. Keep warm.
• Prepare the pancakes: Whisk the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a large bowl. Stir in the egg, milk and canola oil until just combined. (The batter will be thin.) Fold in the diced jalapeno, parmesan and scallions.
• Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat and lightly oil it. Ladle 2 to 3 tablespoons batter onto the griddle for each pancake; cook until the tops are bubbly, then flip and cook until golden on the bottom.
• Stack the pancakes on 4 plates. Top each stack with 2 strips of bacon and drizzle with the orange syrup.
