Fried Bacon Cornbread - Cowboy Kent Rollins

Ingredients

  • 2 cups yellow corn meal
  • ½ cup flour
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons bacon grease from recipe above
  • 1 ½ cups milk
  • 2 large eggs unbeaten
  • 6 slices bacon chopped (from recipe above)
  • 1 ½ cups lard or fry oil

Instructions

  • In a bowl add the dry ingredients and mix well. Stir in the bacon grease, milk, eggs and bacon. Stir until smooth. If needed, add more cornmeal to create a batter that is thick and binds together. 
  • In a large cast iron skillet, melt the lard over medium-heat. Add large dollops of the cornbread mixture to the skillet and fry on both sides until golden brown and crispy, about 3 minutes per side.
  • Let cool slightly on paper towel or rack. Top with butter and serve with the Cowboy Collard Greens Soup.
