How to Make Iron Skillet Bacon Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 ½ cups corn flake crumbs, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ cup sugar.
  3. Set aside.
  4. Fry 6 slices of bacon in an iron skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  5. Reserve 1/2 cup of bacon drippings in a small bowl.
  6. Add enough oil to the bacon drippings to reach a total of 1/2 cup.
  7. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 1/2 cup milk.

  9. Stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  10. Fold in 1/2 of the crumbled bacon bits.
  11. Pour batter into a greased 8x8 inch iron skillet or a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  12. Sprinkle the remaining crumbled bacon bits over the top.
  13. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the bread is golden brown.
  14. Let cool slightly before loosening the edges and cutting into wedges.
  15. Serve warm and enjoy!
