Cornmeal bacon dumplings
1 Servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| ½ | cup | Flour |
| ¾ | cup | Yellow cornmeal |
| 1½ | teaspoon | Baking powder |
| 1 | pinch | Salt |
| ½ | pounds | Bacon; diced and fried until crisp, drained, with fat reserved |
| ¼ | teaspoon | Tabasco |
| ¼ | cup | Chopped scallions |
| 1 | Egg beaten | |
| ½ | cup | Chicken stock |
Directions
In a bowl, mix together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, Tabasco and bacon bits.
In another bowl, combine the scallions, 1 tablespoon of reserved bacon fat, the egg and chicken stock. Add this to the dry ingredients and mix just enough to blend.
Bring a saucepan of water to a boil and drop tablespoonfuls of mixture into the water. Cover and gently simmer for 10 minutes. Uncover and cook for a few minutes more, just enough to dry out each dumpling slightly on top.
Variation: Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling mixture directly into your favorite casserole.
