Ingredients:

Serving

4 slices bacon
1 tbsp vegetable oil , as needed
2/3 cup yellow cornmeal , preferably stone-ground
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup well-shaken buttermilk
1 large egg, beaten

Directions:

Position oven rack in center of oven; preheat to 400°.
Add bacon to a skillet; cook over medium heat, turning once, until crisp and browned, about 8 minutes.
Transfer bacon to paper towels; cool and coarsely chop bacon.
Measure bacon fat and add enough oil to make 1/4 cup.
Pour 2 tablespoons bacon fat into an 8x8 inch baking pan; bake until the fat is very hot, about 2 minutes.
Whisk the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
Make a well in the center and add in the buttermilk, egg, and remaining 2 tablespoons bacon fat.
Stir just until the batter is barely smooth—a few lumps can remain.
Quickly stir in the bacon; do not overmix.
Spread in the hot baking dish.
Bake until the top of the corn bread springs back when pressed in the center, about 20 minutes.
Cool for 5 minutes; cut into squares and serve hot.
