Photo: Skillet Cornbread Recipe
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound bacon, chopped
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 4 jalapenos, seeded and diced
- 3 cups cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3 cups buttermilk
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 10 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
Directions
Preheat the oven to 450 degree F.
Brown chopped bacon in a 10-inch cast iron skillet. Add the garlic and jalapeno and saute until softened.
In a bowl, combine the cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pepper and mix well. In a small bowl, combine the buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter. Add to dry ingredients and stir just to combine. Quickly pour the cornmeal batter into the skillet.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until firm and golden brown on top. Let sit for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a cutting board. Cut into wedges and serve hot with butter on the side.

You need to mix the bacon, garlic and jalapeno's in with the batter... In the video he just puts it on top! I will try it again.. 1st attempt I failed, had to throw it away.... If you like sweet cornbread don't try this

After reading the recipe several times I just concluded the garlic,bacon and peppers were staying on the bottom of the pan. Just before putting the batter into the pan I placed it in the oven to make sure the cast iron pan was hot. It puffed up beautifully. It was delicious. My 83 yr old mom who just got out of the hospital loved the crispy and flavorful crust and the occasional hit of jalapeno and garlic. I doubt there is a way of reducing the amount of butter and fat without creating something quite dry. So eat a small piece and share. My neighbors loved it too!
Thank You Jennifer and the neighborhood (Florida/Canada
