CHEDDAR CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl.
• Place the silken tofu in a blender and buzz it until smooth.
• Whisk together the pureed tofu, ground flaxseeds, and milk in a large bowl. Place a 12-inch oven-safe skillet (preferably cast-iron) or a 2-quart casserole dish in the oven.
• Whisk the vinegar into the tofu mixture, then add the flour mixture, coconut oil, and 6 tablespoons melted butter. Stir until nearly combined, then add the cheese and stir until incorporated.
• Place the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet in the oven and let it warm up and sizzle for 2 minutes. Then carefully remove the skillet, tilt it to spread the butter around, and pour the cornbread batter into it. Spread it out evenly with a silicone spatula and quickly get the pan back in the oven.
• Bake until the cornbread is golden brown, resists light pressure, and a cake tester comes out with just a crumb or two attached, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly, then slice into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.

BACON CORNBREAD WITH CHEDDAR AND SCALLIONS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a wire cooling rack on top of the baking sheet and arrange the bacon on the rack. Bake until the bacon is crisp, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool. Set 5 bacon strips aside, then chop remaining bacon into small pieces.
• Meanwhile, heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a medium skillet over medium. Add the chopped scallions, sprinkle with a small pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the scallions are browned in spots, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
• Grease a round 8-inch springform pan or cake pan with butter. In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Add the milk, egg, honey and 1/4 cup olive oil and whisk until smooth. Stir in the chopped bacon, scallions and cheddar cheese. Pour the batter into the prepared pan; use a spoon to spread the batter into an even layer.
• Arrange the remaining bacon strips on top of the batter, trimming them as necessary, then bake until the cornbread is browned and firm in the center, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then run a kitchen knife around the edges of the pan to loosen. Cut into pieces and serve warm.
