1/2 lb. sausage or bacon slices
1/2 c. all purpose flour
3 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. sugar
1/2 c. canned Mexican corn (drained)
1 1/2 c. cornmeal
1 beaten egg
3 tbsp. melted butter
3/4 c. buttermilk
1/4 c. diced green chilies
2 tsp. salt

Fry sausage, or bacon, until done. Drain; save drippings. Sift flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Stir in cornmeal. Combine egg, butter, and buttermilk; mix with the dry ingredients. Stir in the sausage (or bacon), chilies, and corn. Mix until just blended. The batter is stiff. Do Not over beat. Heat reserved drippings in an iron skillet until sizzling. Spoon into the batter. Bake at 400 degrees for 25 mintues, or until a toothpick comes out clean. May be baked in a casserole dish.
