Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups flour
- 3/4 cup cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup solid shortening
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup milk
Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius). Prepare your baking sheets by spraying them lightly with vegetable oil.
-
-
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, stir together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
-
Prepare Bacon and Butter Mixture: In a separate small saucepan, melt the solid shortening and butter together over low heat until fully melted and combined.
-
Incorporate Wet Ingredients: Pour the melted shortening and butter mixture into the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Stir until the mixture becomes crumbly and well blended.
-
Add Bacon and Milk: Crumble the cooked bacon slices and add them into the mixture. Gradually pour in the milk while stirring continuously until a thick batter forms. The consistency should be just thick enough to spoon out easily.
-
Form Biscuits: Using a tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of the batter onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each biscuit to allow for expansion while baking.
-
Bake: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake the biscuits for approximately 15 minutes, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown color and are cooked through.
-
Serve: Once baked, remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheets before transferring them to a serving platter. These Cornmeal Bacon Biscuits are best enjoyed warm and can be served alongside your favorite soups, stews, or enjoyed on their own as a delicious snack or side dish.
