INSTRUCTIONS
This is best eaten warm from the oven, but it's also delicious toasted.
Preheat oven to 450¡F. Put the bacon in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet and
cook in the oven for about 5 minutes, or until the fat is rendered.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the cornmeal, masa harina, baking soda
and salt. Stir in the buttermilk and egg just until blended; do not
overmix.
Swirl the bacon to coat the pan with the drippings, then remove the bacon
from the pan and discard. Stir any excess drippings into the batter, then
pour the batter into the hot pan and spread evenly with a spoon. Bake for
about 10 minutes, or until the bread is set and a knife inserted into the
center comes out clean. Serve hot.

A Message from our Provider:
“Our hopelessness and our helplessness are no barrier to (God’s) work. Indeed our utter incapacity is often the prop He delights to use for His next act… We are facing one of the principles of Yahweh’s modus operandi. When His people are without strength, without resources, without hope, without human gimmicks – then He loves to stretch forth His hand from heaven. Once we see where God often begins we will understand how we may be encouraged. #Ralph Davis”
