🥘 Ingredients

12 items

• 1 cup All-purpose flour

• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Buttermilk

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a mini loaf pan (with 6 cavities) or line with parchment paper.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter until well combined.

4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold the mixture just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

5. Fold in the crumbled bacon and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared mini loaf cavities, filling each about 3/4 full.

7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaves comes out clean.

8. Remove the mini loaves from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly.

9. If desired, garnish with chopped fresh chives before serving. Serve warm with butter or your favorite spread.
