INSTRUCTIONS
Stir buttermilk and polenta in medium bowl to blend. Cover and let
stand at room temperature overnight.
Preheat oven to 350F. Cook bacon in heavy large skillet until crisp.
Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towels to drain. Spoon 2
tablespoons bacon drippings into 13x9x2-inch metal baking pan. Tilt
pan to coat bottom and sides of pan with bacon drippings. Place
baking pan in oven until bacon drippings are hot, about 6 minutes.
Meanwhile, sift flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda into large
bowl. Stir in brown sugar. Whisk eggs, honey and melted butter in
another large bowl to blend. Stir in polenta mixture. Add to dry
ingredients. Stir just until blended. Stir in corn kernels. Transfer
batter to prepared hot baking pan. Sprinkle bacon over batter, then
press bacon gently to submerge slightly.
Bake corn bread until tester inserted into center comes out clean and
top is golden, about 45 minutes. Transfer to rack. Cool 15 minutes.
(Can be prepared 8 hours ahead. Cool completely. Cover and let stand
at room temperature.) Cut corn bread into squares and serve warm or
at room temperature.
*Available at Italian markets, natural foods stores and some
supermarkets.
Makes 12 to 16 servings.
