1/3 C. thinly sliced scallion

1 C. yellow cornmeal

2/3 C. all-purpose flour

1 tsp. double-acting baking powder

1 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt

2 large eggs

3 T. unsalted butter, melted and cooled

1 1/2 C. sour cream

1/4 C. milk

 

Cook bacon until it is crispy. Blot with paper towels& crumble it. Drain off all but 1 T. of the fat from the skillet, and use remaining bacon grease to cook the onion over moderately low heat, stirring, until it is softened. Into a bowl sift together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl whisk together the eggs, butter, sour cream, and milk. Stir in bacon, onion, and cornmeal mixture, and beat the batter well. Divide the batter among 12 well-buttered 1/3-C. muffin tins and bake the muffins in the middle of a preheated 425 degree F. oven for 20 minutes, or until they are golden. Turn the muffins out onto a rack and let them cool.
