Irresistible Bacon-Infused Cornbread Snack

Ingredients

- 6 slices of bacon
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and set up your muffin or baking tray by lightly greasing it or using parchment paper liners.

2. Cook the Bacon
Place the bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat. Cook until crisp, approximately 7 minutes. Remove bacon and place on paper towels to drain. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces and set aside.

3. Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir well with a whisk to ensure even distribution of the ingredients.

4. Prepare Wet Mixture
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg until fully blended.

5. Combine Ingredients
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. You should have a slightly lumpy batter.

6. Add Corn and Bacon
Fold in the corn kernels and crumbled bacon pieces using a spatula. Mix until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

7. Bake
Spoon the batter evenly into your prepared muffin or baking tray, filling each cup about 3/4 full. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

8. Cool and Serve
Allow the cornbread to cool in the tray for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm, or at room temperature for optimal enjoyment.
