Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 8 ounces cooked bacon, chopped
- 1 cup crumbled gorgonzola cheese
- Optional toppings: diced chives or jalapeños for an extra kick
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Get that kitchen hot and ready for some slider magic!
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Mix it all together like you’re summoning the spirits of great chefs past.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and melted butter. Make sure those eggs are well-behaved and fully broken.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Stir gently until it’s just combined; we’re not making a workout here!
- Now add the delightful bacon bits and crumbled gorgonzola cheese. Stir it in like you’re incorporating all the fun into your life.
- Pour the batter into a greased cast iron skillet. Make sure it’s evenly spread out so all your sliders cook evenly.
- Bake in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Resist the temptation to open the oven too often; we want those sliders to rise to the occasion!
- Once done, let them cool for a few moments (if you can wait), then slice them into sliders. Feel free to add toppings like chives or jalapeños for an extra flavor explosion!
- Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or all on their own! Watch as everyone devours them in record time, leaving you the culinary hero of the day!
