How to Make Johnny Jalapeno's Ride Em Cowboy Corncakes

  1. **Prepare the Bacon:** Cook bacon until crispy. Crumble and set aside.
  2. **Make the Batter:** In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. **Combine Wet Ingredients:** In a separate bowl, whisk together egg, milk, and melted butter.
  4. **Combine Wet and Dry:** Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. **Heat the Griddle:** Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large skillet over medium heat.
  6. **Cook the Corncakes:** Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each corncake (makes about 8).
  7. **Add Toppings:** Top each corncake with an equal amount of crumbled bacon, jalapeños, and cheddar cheese.
  8. **Flip and Cook:** When bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges look set (about 2-3 minutes), carefully flip the corncakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Do not press down on the pancakes!
  9. **Serve:** Transfer the corncakes to plates, topping side up.
  10. **Garnish and Enjoy:** Top each corncake with a dollop of butter, a spoonful of picante sauce, and a dollop of sour cream. Drizzle with maple syrup, if desired, and serve immediately.
