Who says that pancakes need to be sweet? I don’t know about you, but I definitely prefer a savory breakfast so I was excited to come up with a savory corn pancake recipe. Since Jasmine was a tamale making machine over the holiday season this year, we had a bunch of masa harina that needed to be put to use. I took this as the perfect opportunity to make Savory Corn Cakes and topped them with a cilantro and dill cream sauce for a flavor combination that is sure to knock your socks off.These savory corn pancakes might just be one of my all-time favorite creations. The mix chili’s with the masa and fresh corn, pack a flavor combo similar to tamales, but in flapjack form. I promise you an epic breakfast experience unlike any other when you make these. Although they have a slight kick, the cilantro cream sauce does the perfect job of cooling them down and adding a perfect mix of flavors.Jasmine and I went head to head in an epic pancake showdown where she made Fluffy Vegan Buttermilk Pancakes with a Golden Milk Sauce that was honestly to die for (even though I liked mine better ;).
