Ingredients
Corn Cake Mixture:
1 ½cupsfine or medium ground cornmeal
1teaspoonsalt
1 ½cupsboiling water
½cupmilk
2tablespoonsolive oil plus some for cooking
1tablespoonsugar
1large egg
Filling:
4large strips bacon, diced
3-4scallions, minced
1cupshredded cheese
Maple Syrup, for serving
Instructions
Stir together cornmeal and salt. Add boiling water and stir. Let sit for 5-10 minutes so water can absorb.
Stir in milk, olive oil, and egg into batter. Let rest while you make filling.
Bake bacon until crispy at 350 degrees or cook in a skillet until crispy over medium heat. Dice or crumble the bacon and stir in with diced scallions and grated cheese.
To make cakes, add a drizzle of oil to a griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add ¼ cup of the cornmeal batter.
Immediately top batter with a small handful of the bacon filling. Spoon another ¼ cup of batter over the top of the filling so it mostly covers the filling. It’s okay if it doesn’t cover everything.
Let cook for 3-4 minutes or until the edges are firm around the griddle cake.
Flip cake and cook for another few minutes until they are cooked through.
