Ingredients
  

  • 6 slices Bacon Cooked to crispy and coarsely chopped or crumbled (reserve 4 teaspoons bacon grease)
  • 1 1/4 cups Stoneground Yellow Cornmeal
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 1/4 cups Buttermilk Room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons Unsalted Butter Melted and cooled
  • 1/4 cup Pure Maple Syrup
  • 2 large Egg Room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 2 tablespoons Pure Maple Syrup
  • 1 tablespoon Dark Brown Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Salted Butter Melted

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. In a 10-inch cast iron skillet (or a 9-inch square baking pan) place reserved bacon grease and place skillet inside oven.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together buttermilk, melted butter, maple syrup, eggs and vanilla extract until well combined.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir just until evenly moistened. Fold in the crumbled bacon pieces.
  • Carefully remove hot skillet from oven and pour prepared batter in. Return skillet to oven and bake 20-22 minutes, until cornbread is golden on top and lightly browned at the edges. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
  • While the cornbread cools slightly, in a small bowl whisk together maple syrup, brown sugar and melted butter. After cornbread has cooled for 10 minutes, brush the top of the cornbread with the glaze mixture. Cut into 8 wedges and serve warm.
