Today is THE LAST DAY OF THE PANCAKE PARTY!!! I’m happy, relieved, sad, but mostly happy. I missed blogging and would definitely do a few things differently next time. I’m going to write a little post about all that though, so be on the lookout for it. What did you think of the “Pancake Party” or the idea of an “event” on a blog? Any feedback?

The final pancakes come from Lauren of Lauren’s Latest. Lauren has a great blog. She is always coming up with fantastic recipes and the occasional picture of her daughter is sure to brighten your day. To get an idea of Lauren’s wonderful content, check out these recipes:

Hey guys!

I’m Lauren from Lauren’s Latest here to share with you some rather amazing pancakes. Are you sick of these yet? I know after a month of pancakes, the last thing you want to see is yet another pancake recipe BUT Rachel loves her pancakes, so here’s the very last recipe. I hope you’ll like!

I like to switch things up and throw all sorts of fun stuff into my hot cakes. Today, I’m sharing with you a new family favorite: Jalapeno Bacon Corn Cakes. A little spicy, a little sweet and amazing with butter and maple syrup on the top. Totally got the salty sweet thing going for them! –> LOVE that!
Give these a whirl next time you’re needing a change! You won’t be disappointed :) Have a great day, friends!

Jalapeno Bacon Corn Cakes
yield: about 14 – 3 inch pancakes

Ingredients:
1 cup plain soy milk {or regular milk is fine too…}
1 egg
1 tablespoon canola oil or melted butter
1 tablespoon sugar
1 cup self-rising flour
3 tablespoons cornmeal
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon finely diced jalapeño {add more or less depending on personal preference}
2 tablespoons diced red onion
3 slices cooked and chopped bacon
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
butter for frying

Directions:
Preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium to medium-low heat. In a large bowl, whisk milk, egg and oil together. Stir in dry ingredients until just incorporated. Fold in remaining ingredients. Melt 1/2 tablespoon of butter into pan and pour 2-3 tablespoons in per pancake onto hot griddle. Cook 1-2 minutes per side until bottom is golden and bubbles start forming on the top. Flip and finish cooking on the other side. Remove from griddle and add more butter to pan to continue frying corn cakes. Repeat this process until no batter remains. Serve corn cakes warm with butter and maple syrup.

I love Lauren’s blog. Her pizza crust recipe is the only yeast dough I have mastered and I use it all the time. Great job on the pancake party, Rachel!

Ohhh these. THESE I would definitely like. I love jalapenos, and bacon. I’d totally throw in some cheddar and make these as popper-esque :)

Bacon and jalapenos in anything almost always is a guaranteed win with me! These looks obnoxiously good.

i thought your pancake party was a great idea. It really showed the endless possibilities that can be a “pancake”. I, however, towards the end of the month was really glad when your pancake party was over. I can only try so many pancake recipes and then I really didn’t want to look at any more pancake recipies… I know I am in the minoroty here with my opinion on the pancake party; but I trully enjoy your blog and I love the variety you bring to it. By July 19th I was “pancaked out”… Love the idea though.. Very different and very functional in showing how versatile the pancake if throughout the different cultures… Thank you!

I’ll be honest with you Dawn, I got a little sick of it too, and I missed “talking” to my readers through my posts. I felt disconnected. If you read the post where I did a “how-to” and kind of wrapped up the pancake party, you’ll see I’d so some things differently next time. Thanks for your feedback!
