BACON CORNBREAD CUPCAKES WITH HONEY BUTTER

Provided by Duff Goldman

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 12 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 slices thick-cut bacon
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
Kosher salt
2 extra-large eggs plus one extra-large egg yolk
1 cup buttermilk, at room temperature, plus more as needed
4 tablespoons honey
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Put the bacon in a cold pan over medium-high heat, flipping three-quarters of the way through cooking, until crisp, about 10 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and reserve the fat.
  • Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with some of the reserved fat and set aside. In a big bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and some salt.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, buttermilk and 2 tablespoons of the reserved bacon fat to a uniform color.
  • Chop 10 slices of the bacon coarsely into roughly 1/4-inch pieces. Finely chop the remaining 2 slices and set aside.
  • Quickly but gently fold the liquid mixture into the dry mixture. (It should be a loose batter, not a dough. If not, add just a tad more buttermilk or even some cream.) Then, fold in the coarsely chopped bacon.
  • Divide the batter among the muffin cups in the prepared tin and bake until the tops are golden and a toothpick comes out somewhat clean, 15 to 18 minutes. Let cool for 7 minutes, then turn them out upside-down so they develop a nice thin crust on the baked edge. Cool to just warm or room temperature before frosting, another 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Beat the honey, butter and a pinch of salt together with a hand mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer until light and fluffy. Transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a large closed-star tip and pipe a generous tablespoon on the tops of each of the cupcakes. Serve.

This is our standby for cornbread, we use NO others. It does have a bit more sugar than normal, but it is oh so good.

Provided by Billiebcc

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 35m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 egg, beaten
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup milk
1/4 cup canola oil

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Mix cornmeal, flour, sugar,and baking powder together. Add egg, vanilla, milk and oil.
  • Beat until just smooth, do not over beat!
  • Pour batter into a greased 8 inch square pan or a cast iron pan.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for approx 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. This is especially important for the cornmeal, which should be finely ground and fresh. Fresh bacon and honey will also give the cornbread the best flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the cornbread tough. Just stir until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cornbread in a hot oven. This will help it to rise and get a golden brown crust.
  • Let the cornbread cool slightly before serving. This will help it to hold its shape and make it easier to slice.
  • Serve the cornbread with your favorite toppings. Butter, honey, and maple syrup are all classic choices.
