This smoky peach and bacon cornbread is a true taste sensation that will have your taste buds dancing with delight. So let’s dive in and get cooking!

Preparation

For this unique cornbread creation, you will need the following ingredients:

• smoked bacon (diced) – 150g
• canned peaches (chopped) – 200g
• cornmeal – 250g
• all-purpose flour – 150g
• brown sugar – 50g
• baking powder – 10g
• salt – 5g
• eggs – 2
• buttermilk – 250ml
• butter (melted) – 100g

In addition to the ingredients, you will need the following kitchen tools:

• mixing bowl
• frying pan
• whisk
• cast iron skillet
• oven

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a frying pan over medium heat, crisp up the diced smoked bacon until golden and slightly crispy. Remove from the pan and set aside. In a mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, and melted butter until well combined.

Assembly & Baking

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Gently fold in the crispy bacon and chopped peaches until evenly distributed throughout the batter. Grease a cast iron skillet with a bit of butter and pour in the cornbread batter, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cornbread is golden on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Serving

Slice the smoky peach and bacon cornbread into generous wedges and serve warm alongside a bowl of chili, a BBQ spread, or simply enjoy on its own. The combination of sweet peaches, smoky bacon, and tender cornbread is truly a match made in culinary heaven.

Tips & Tricks

For an extra burst of flavor, try adding a handful of shredded sharp cheddar cheese to the batter before baking. The melty cheese will take this cornbread to a whole new level of deliciousness!
