Ingredients

How to make it

  • Cook bacon until crisp over medium-high heat. About 5 min.
  • Add scallions and quickly stir until they are wilted, about 30 seconds. Drain the mixture into a small colander placed over a bowl. Set the bacon and scallions aside. Pour 2 tbs of bacon fat back into the skillet.
  • Place the skillet in the oven and preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Meanwhile, combine cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a medium-size mixing bowl. Mix well.
  • In another bowl, combine the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and peppers. Mix well. Add to the dry ingredients, along with plantain and bacon-scallion mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon just until dry ingredients are moistened. Do not over mix.
  • Carefully pour batter into the smoking-hot skillet until the top is golden brown and toothpick or a knife comes out clean. About 20-25 minutes. Cool slightly before cutting into wedges.
