Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cornmeal
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 scoop Whey protein powder
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Buttermilk
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Canned corn kernels
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh chives

Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, all-purpose flour, whey protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, mix together buttermilk, eggs, and honey until well combined.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just incorporated.
Melt the butter and add it to the batter along with the canned corn and chopped chives, stirring lightly.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and coat with a bit of oil.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet.
Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip the pancakes and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 2 more minutes.
Repeat with remaining batter, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
Serve the corn pancakes hot with your choice of toppings such as sour cream, additional chives, or maple syrup.
