A delightful twist on a classic Cajun dish, this recipe offers a flavorful and textured cornmeal crumble, perfect for a hearty breakfast or a comforting snack.
In a mixing bowl, combine the yellow cornmeal, salt, baking powder, and sugar. Gradually add the milk, stirring until the mixture resembles damp sand.
Ensure the mixture is evenly combined to avoid lumps.
Heat the bacon drippings in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until melted and hot.
Use a well-seasoned skillet to prevent sticking.
Pour the cornmeal mixture into the skillet and let it cook undisturbed for a few minutes to form a crust.
Allowing the crust to form adds a delightful texture.
Reduce the heat to medium and stir the mixture, scraping the bottom of the skillet to incorporate the crust into the mixture. Continue cooking until the mixture is golden brown and crumbly, about 10 minutes.
Stirring frequently prevents burning and ensures even cooking.
Serve the golden cornmeal crumble hot, drizzled with your choice of syrup or honey.
Pair with fresh fruit or yogurt for a complete meal.
