1 c. flour
1 c. cornmeal
4 tsp. baking powder
2 tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 egg
1 c. milk
2 tbsp. butter, melted
12 slices bacon

Place flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar and salt in a bowl and toss to mix. Beat egg with a fork or hand beater. Add to flour mixture. Then add milk and melted butter. Stir until mixture is thoroughly moistened -- do not overmix. Fry bacon slices partially cooked. (The bacon should be limp, not crisp.) Drain on paper towels. Line the bottom of a very lightly greased 9-inch square baking pan with waxed paper. Arrange bacon slices on the waxed paper and along sides of pan. Pour batter into bacon-lined pan. Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven about 30 minutes or until well-browned. Remove pan from oven and allow to cool a few minutes. Turn bread out of pan upside-down on a board. The bacon will be on top. Remove waxed paper and cut bread into squares. Serve warm.
