List of Ingredients




6 strips thick cut bacon, diced
1 1/2 cups diced onions
1cup stone ground yellow cornmeal
2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

Combine dry ingredients.
Combine eggs and buttermilk with whisk
Combine wet and dry ingredients; add sautéed bacon and onions; stir just enough to mix thoroughly.
Heat bacon fat until hot and pour into batter just before pouring the batter into the muffin cups. The batter should foam with this addition. Stir lightly to combine and pour immediately into cups.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes.
Do not cover these muffins or you will loose the crisp crust. To keep warm or reheat, place heated stone in bottom of bread basket of heat muffin pan, return muffins to the pan and serve in the rustic pan.
