GRANDMA'S BACON FAT CORNBREAD



Grandma's Bacon Fat Cornbread image

When you cook bacon or chicken, the rendered fat left behind in the pan is loaded with flavor so don't throw it out. Use it to add complexity to dishes like this cornbread. To save fat, let it cool slightly, then strain into an airtight container and refrigerate.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     side-dish

Time 30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups stone-ground cornmeal
3 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup buttermilk
2 large eggs
6 tablespoons reserved fat, such as rendered bacon or chicken fat (schmaltz)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Whisk the cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda together in a large bowl. Whisk the buttermilk and eggs together in a medium bowl. Fold the wet ingredients into the cornmeal mixture until just combined; set aside.
  • Heat a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over high heat. When the skillet is smoking-hot, turn off the heat and add the fat, carefully stirring it around the pan as it melts. Pour the melted fat into the cornmeal batter and stir to combine. (Do not wipe out the skillet.) Pour the cornmeal mixture into the hot skillet (batter will sizzle) and bake until the edges are golden brown and the center bounces back when pressed with a finger, 18 to 20 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

BUTTERMILK CORN BREAD WITH BACON



Buttermilk Corn Bread with Bacon image

Provided by Peter Reinhart

Categories     Bread     Dairy     Egg     Pork     Bake     Thanksgiving     Bacon     Cornmeal     Corn     Hominy/Cornmeal/Masa     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 12 to 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups buttermilk
1 1/4 cups polenta (coarse cornmeal)*
8 ounces bacon (about 10 slices), cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
3 large eggs
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter, melted
2 1/2 cups frozen corn kernels, thawed (about 13 ounces)
*Available at Italian markets, natural foods stores and some supermarkets.

Steps:

  • Stir buttermilk and polenta in medium bowl to blend. Cover and let stand at room temperature overnight. Preheat oven to 350°F. Cook bacon in heavy large skillet until crisp. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towels to drain. Spoon 2 tablespoons bacon drippings into 13x9x2-inch metal baking pan. Tilt pan to coat bottom and sides of pan with bacon drippings. Place baking pan in oven until bacon drippings are hot, about 6 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, sift flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda into large bowl. Stir in brown sugar. Whisk eggs, honey and melted butter in another large bowl to blend. Stir in polenta mixture. Add to dry ingredients. Stir just until blended. Stir in corn kernels. Transfer batter to prepared hot baking pan. Sprinkle bacon over batter, then press bacon gently to submerge slightly. Bake corn bread until tester inserted into center comes out clean and top is golden, about 45 minutes. Transfer to rack. Cool 15 minutes. (Can be prepared 8 hours ahead. Cool completely. Cover and let stand at room temperature.) Cut corn bread into squares and serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use fresh buttermilk for the best flavor and texture. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the cornbread tough.
  • Use a cast iron skillet for the best results. A cast iron skillet will help the cornbread cook evenly and give it a nice crust.
  • If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use a 9x9 inch baking dish. Just be sure to grease the dish well.
  • Serve the cornbread warm with butter, honey, or your favorite toppings.

Conclusion:

This buttermilk cornbread with bacon is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The cornbread is moist and flavorful, and the bacon adds a nice smoky flavor. This recipe is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
