Ingredients

San Antonio Corn Bread

2 oz.

Turkey Bacon, raw, ¼-inch dice

1 cup(s)

Stone-ground cornmeal

1 cup(s)

All-purpose flour

½ tsp.

Salt

4 tsp.

Baking powder

Jalapeño, minced, seeds removed

1 tbsp.

Molasses

2 ea.

Directions

  1. 1. In a 9-inch seasoned cast iron skillet, heat and render the bacon until crisp.

  5. 5. Slowly add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients. Blend in, but do not overmix.
