Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Fry the bacon in a 9-inch cast-iron skillet until crisp. Remove and drain on paper towels. Crumble. Reserve bacon drippings (1 to 2 tablespoons) in skillet and keep warm.
Combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt and garlic powder in a mixing bowl. Stir in cheese, jalapeños, pimientos, onion and crumbled bacon.
In a smaller bowl, beat together the milk, oil and eggs. Stir in the dry ingredients until just moistened. Reheat the bacon drippings in the skillet until hot (drops of water will sizzle). Quickly pour the batter into the hot pan and bake in the oven for 30 to 35 minutes.
Serve hot.
Makes about 8 servings.
