Equipment

Ingredients

6 slices bacon
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1 (14.5-ounce) can sweet corn drained
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 cup granulated sugar divided
2 large eggs lightly beaten
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
butter for cooking and serving
Maple syrup

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking pan with parchment paper. Lay bacon strips side by side. Sprinkle with brown sugar. Bake until bacon is fully cooked, about 15 to 18 minutes. Let cool and then chop.
In a 2-cup glass measuring cup, combine corn, milk, and 1/4 cup sugar. Puree with an immersion blender until smooth. Or you can use a food processor.
Whisk in eggs.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, remaining 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add liquid ingredients to dry and stir just until flour disappears.
Place a small amount of butter on a hot griddle. Once melted, pour batter onto griddle, forming 4-inch pancakes. Sprinkle tops with bacon. Flip over once bubbles form and continue to cook until cooked through.
Serve with butter and maple syrup.
