JALAPEñO-CHEDDAR CORNMEAL PANCAKES

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.

CORN AND JALAPENO GRIDDLE CAKES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar and salt. In a small bowl or measuring cup, use a fork to lightly beat the milk, melted butter and egg. Pour the milk mixture over the flour mixture. Add the corn and jalapeno. Use a fork to stir until just mixed and there are no visible traces of flour.
• Heat a 10-inch skillet over medium-low heat. Sprinkle a few drops of water into the skillet--if they "dance" across it, the skillet is ready. Add a pat of butter and swirl to coat. Drop scant 1/4 cupfuls of batter into the skillet, leaving 1 to 2 inches between each cake. Cook until set around the edges and air bubbles form on top, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook 1 to 2 more minutes. Serve hot.
• Love Your Leftovers: Store remaining griddle cakes in a ziptop bag in the fridge for up to 2 days, or the freezer for up to 1 month. Heat them in a toaster (no need to thaw frozen ones) when ready to eat.
