- Servings: 12
- Yield: 1 dozen muffins
Ingredients:
- 6 slices of bacon
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 8 ounces sour cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 egg
Instructions:
-
Cook Bacon: Begin by cooking the bacon until it’s crisp and golden brown. Once done, drain the bacon slices well on paper towels to remove excess grease.
-
Prepare Onion: Reserve 2 tablespoons of the bacon drippings in the pan and then cook the diced onion in the bacon drippings until it becomes tender and translucent, infusing it with that delicious bacon flavor.
-
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to ensure all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
-
Blend Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, blend together the sour cream, milk, and egg until they are well combined and form a smooth mixture.
-
Mix Batter: Now, it’s time to bring everything together. Add the wet ingredients, crumbled bacon, and cooked onions to the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently fold everything together until just moistened, being careful not to overmix.
-
Fill Muffin Tins: Spoon the batter into greased muffin tins, filling each cup about three-quarters full. This will allow the muffins to rise beautifully as they bake.
-
Bake: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius), then bake the muffins for 18 to 20 minutes, or until they are lightly browned on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Serve: Once baked to perfection, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm alongside your favorite breakfast dishes or enjoy them on their own.
