Instructions

1. For the bacon cornbread, preheat the oven to 180 ° C top and bottom heat.
2. Put the ham in a pan and fry over medium heat for about 5 minutes.
3. Put the polenta, flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl and stir. Add the buttermilk, egg, cheese and the fried ham and stir. Let rest for 10 minutes, the dough should then have a consistency similar to mashed potatoes. If it is too firm, add more milk - if it is too runny, add a little flour.
