Yield: 8 portions
Instructions:
First, prepare the corn, cilantro, green onion, jalapenos and lime juice and toss them into a large mixing bowl.
In a separate mixing bowl, mix together the dry ingredients: masa, baking powder, salt, pepper and chili powder. Use your (hand/spoon) to create a well in the center of the dry mixing bowl and add in the beaten eggs, milk, honey and melted butter. Whisk together to create a batter.
Pour the mixture over the vegetables. Add in the cheese and fold everything together.
Spoon 2 oz scoops of mix on a hot, buttered griddle. Flip after 1 minute and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Once they are golden and ready, remove from heat and top with your favorite Chili or eat them alone.
