Ingredients
- 5 slices maple bacon
- 1/2 cup self-rising flour
- 3/4 cup fine cornmeal
- Pinch salt
- 1 egg, plus 1 egg white
- 1 (14-ounce) can creamed corn
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Put a cast iron cornbread pan with 7 corn shaped or 8 wedge shaped baking divots in the oven to heat.
Slowly cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Set bacon aside on a paper towel lined dish and allow rendered bacon fat to cool slightly.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal and salt. In a larger bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy and add the creamed corn. Fold in the dry ingredients and combine until just mixed. Dice the cooked bacon and fold it into the batter.
Pour the bacon fat into the hot iron pan and divide it evenly between the sections, discarding the excess. Divide the batter between the sections until full.
Bake until golden in color, about 17 to 19 minutes. Allow the cornbread to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!

I made this for my husband, who grew up Southern. I did not, so I am not a cornbread kind of girl. He LOVED it. Said it was the best cornbread he had ever had, even beat his momma's bread. He did tell me to add onions next time...I think that would be super tasty as well. We had this as a side dish to chili and it was very good!

I loved this! It was so easy to make! Please make the honey whipped butter because it transfers this cornbread into a sweet and savory cornbread! DELICIOUS!
