Recipe - Hot Cornbread (Mf)

8 sl Bacon; finely chopped
1 One half cup Coarse cornmeal
One fourth cup Flour
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Baking soda
1 Egg
One fourth cup Chopped green chilis
1 cup Buttermilk or plain yogurt
One half cup Milk

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Heat bacon in a 9 or 10" cast iron skillet.
Saute until rendered. Remove crisp bits with a slotted spoon and discard
all but 2 tablespoons of fat. Stick skillet in oven to preheat it while you
make the batter.

In a bowl whisk together the cornmeal, flour, salt and baking soda. In
another bowl whisk together egg, chilis, buttermilk or yogurt and milk. Add
reserved bacon fat and crisp bacon and pour wet ingredients into dry
ingredients and stir to blend. Remove skillet from the oven and pour in the
batter. Return to oven and bake until deep golden brown, about 20 minutes.
While this is baking, make your stew of white beans.

Yield: 8 servings
