Bacon Muffins

Anthony decided that he wanted some bacon this morning for breakfast. I remembered that I had run across an interesting sounding recipe for bacon muffins. Not the healthiest sounding, I know, but I've never had a bacon muffin. So I thought, what the heck. Now, you would think that there's actual bacon in the recipe. There's not. It uses the bacon grease. Oh healthy police, please don't arrest me!

Anthony cooked the entire package of bacon and I used ALL of the grease from it. The dough was kinda thick and stretchy, if that makes sense. To be honest, I wouldn't call these muffins. Yes, I made them in a muffin tin but they're more like biscuits. Very dry and actually kind of hard. They would be perfect smothered in white gravy served with eggs and hashbrowns :) HAHA!

My interpretation of the recipe:

Bacon Muffins

From: Janie or Jamie

2 c. sifted flour

2 Tbs sugar

4 Tbs baking powder

½ tsp salt

⅓ c bacon juice

1 egg, beaten

1 c. milk

Sift into bowl: flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.

Stir into dry ingredients, egg and milk. Add ¼ c. bacon fat melted. Just before completely blended stir in grease (just enough) to mix.

Spoon into greased muffin tin ⅔ full. 

Bake 20-25 min. at 400°

* I was able to get 12 muffins out of this recipe.

* I didn't spray the muffin tin. I just used muffin liners and they worked fine.

* I baked them for 23 minutes. The toothpick came out clean :)

I hope you enjoy and give this recipe a second chance in your kitchen too.
