Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices Bacon
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 1 large Egg
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.33 cup Green onions, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place a 10-inch cast iron skillet in the oven to heat while you prepare the bread batter.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Set them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain, then crumble or chop into small pieces once cooled. Reserve about 1 tablespoon of the bacon grease.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and black pepper.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, and crumbled bacon. Be careful not to overmix.
Carefully remove the hot cast iron skillet from the oven and brush or drizzle the reserved bacon grease over the surface of the skillet.
Pour the bread batter into the skillet, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the skillet for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
