This hearty honey cornbread with a crispy bacon crust is a wonderful twist on a classic savoury bake. By using the rendered bacon fat to grease the pan, you infuse every bite with a deep, smoky flavour that perfectly complements the sweetness of the golden syrup and corn. The addition of whole corn kernels provides a lovely texture, while the high protein content from the eggs and dairy makes it a satisfying addition to any meal.
Ideal as a comforting side dish for a weekend brunch or served alongside a spicy chilli con carne, this recipe is remarkably easy to prepare. Cooking the batter in a preheated frying pan ensures a beautifully golden, crisp crust that contrasts with the tender, moist centre. For the best results, serve it warm straight from the pan with a little extra salted butter.
