Makes: 12 muffins

 

1 cup cornmeal

1 cup flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 cup sugar

1 egg

1 cup buttermilk

1/3 cup canola oil

1/3 cup cooked, crumbled bacon

12 teaspoons Frank’s® RedHot® THICK Cayenne Pepper Sauce

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Grease or line with paper liners one (12-well) muffin tin.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda and sugar. Beat in the egg, buttermilk and oil until well combined. Fold in the bacon.

Fill each well in the muffin tin 3/4 full of batter. Top each muffin with 1 teaspoon Frank’s® RedHot® THICK Cayenne Pepper Sauce. Use the tip of a knife to swirl the hot sauce into each muffin.

Bake 25 minutes or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the middle of a muffin comes out clean. Serve immediately.
