Maple Bacon Cornbread Mix — Yankee Cornbread with a Twist
Maple and bacon make an extraordinary combination. We've made maple bacon cupcakes and maple bacon sweet rolls. We've even taken it a step further with raised donut dough — puffier, a cross between a raised donut and a cinnamon roll. Now we're a step beyond again.
Meet Maple Bacon Cornbread.
Our Yankee Cornbread has just the right amount of sweetness as is — so we left the batter alone. The magic happens on top. Crispy bacon stirred right into the batter, served warm with a drizzle of real maple syrup. Simple. Extraordinary.
The maple matters. Skip the store-bought stuff — too much sugar, not enough maple. This cornbread deserves the real treatment:
- Maple Cream Syrup — dairy-based, smoother and richer than traditional syrup
- Real Maple Syrup — authentic northwoods maple, the real thing. Corn and maple were made for each other.
- Maple Buttermilk Syrup — caramelly with a hint of butterscotch. A perfect complement. (We carry a buttermilk syrup mix for exactly this.)
The Recipe
So easy it barely counts as a recipe.
- Fry 10 slices of bacon until crispy. Chop into small pieces.
- Prepare Yankee Cornbread batter according to package directions.
- Stir bacon into the batter and bake as directed.
Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream, drizzled generously with maple syrup.
That's it. You're done. Take a bow.
