Cooking Directions

• Step 1 Place the oven rack in the center and preheat to 350°. Grease a mini 24-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.

  • Step 2 In a large cold skillet, arrange the bacon in an even layer. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, for 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving behind as much grease as possible, and let it cool.

  • Step 3 Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl, mix the egg, creamed corn, butter, and sour cream.

  • Step 4 Add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture and fold until well combined. Fold in scallions, corn kernels, cheddar, and half of the bacon. Divide the batter among the prepared cups.

  • Step 5 Bake the bites until they are puffed and lightly browned, for 23 to 27 minutes. Let them cool.

  • Step 6 Transfer the bites to a platter. Top with dollops of sour cream and sprinkle with the remaining bacon and more scallions if desired.
