30-60 minutes
ingredients
8 ounces grated Cheddar cheese
3 slices bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
10 medium scallions sliced thin
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 cup fine-ground, whole-grain yellow cornmeal
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 large eggs
1/2 cup granulated sugar
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup sour cream
1/2 cup milk
directions
Grate cheddar cheese and set aside. Fry bacon in a small skillet over medium heat until crisp and golden brown, about 5 minutes.
Add scallions, 1/4 teaspoon salt and ground black pepper. Cook to heat through, about 1 minute. Transfer mixture to a plate to cool while making muffins.
Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray standard muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
Whisk flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl to combine. Set aside. Whisk eggs in a second medium bowl until well combined and light-colored, about 20 seconds.
Add sugar to eggs and whisk vigorously until thick and homogeneous, about 30 seconds. Add melted butter in 3 additions, whisking to combine after each addition.
Add half the sour cream and half the milk and whisk to combine. Whisk in remaining sour cream and milk until combined.
Stir 1 1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese and bacon/scallion mixture into wet ingredients. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients, then mix gently with rubber spatula until batter is just combined and evenly moistened. Do not over-mix.
Using an ice cream scoop or large spoon, divide batter evenly among muffin cups, dropping it to form a mound. Sprinkle a portion of additional 1/2 cup cheddar over each mound of batter. Do not level or flatten surface of mounds.
Bake until muffins are light golden brown and skewer inserted into center of muffins comes out clean, about 18 minutes, rotating muffin tin from front to back halfway through baking time.
Cool muffins in tin for 5 minutes. Invert muffins onto wire rack, stand muffins upright, and cool 5 minutes longer. Serve warm.
