BAKED DROP BACON/CORN BUTTERMILK
BISCUITS
 
This was an experimental recipe I came up with one day when I was craving corn fritters. When they were done I used them like sandwich bread with some thin sliced turkey. It was wonderful! These would likely be good as dumplings or as a casserole cover or even as a pairing with some white beans like you would do with cornbread.

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup wheat flour
3/4 cup self-rising corn meal
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. sugar
4 tbsp. flaxseed
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
1/2 cup bacon bits (I fry up turkey bacon and cut it into small bits)
2 tbsp. dried onion bits (or fresh minced onion, to taste)
3/4 cup buttermilk (or regular milk, soy milk, etc.)
1 cup frozen whole kernel corn, divided

Preheat oven to 400°F. Prepare two baking sheets. I use non-stick silicone mats and spray them lightly with butter flavor cooking spray (Pam).

Combine all dry ingredients from the flour to the flaxseed. I use a food processor and pulse it about 8 times until I see the mixture is even. Add butter, bacon bits, onion, 1/2 of the corn and mix while adding the milk. Mix just until combined. Batter should be a thick, spoonable dough. Stir in the remaining corn just until combined.

I use a spatula to lay out large patties of dough standing about 1/2-inch high and 3-inch diameter while spacing them 2-inches apart.

Bake at 400°F for about 18 minutes.
