1 sl Bacon; thick-sliced, cut
-crosswise into 1/2-inch
-pieces
1/2 c Yellow corn flour;
-whole-grain, coarse
1/2 c Masa harina
1/2 ts Baking soda
1/2 ts Salt
1 c Buttermilk
1 lg Egg; lightly beaten
This is best eaten warm from the oven, but it’s also delicious toasted.
Preheat oven to 450F. Put the bacon in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet and
cook in the oven for about 5 minutes, or until the fat is rendered.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the cornmeal, masa harina, baking soda
and salt. Stir in the buttermilk and egg just until blended; do not
overmix.
Swirl the bacon to coat the pan with the drippings, then remove the bacon
from the pan and discard. Stir any excess drippings into the batter, then
pour the batter into the hot pan and spread evenly with a spoon. Bake for
about 10 minutes, or until the bread is set and a knife inserted into the
center comes out clean. Serve hot.
