To make these fritters, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
- 1/4 cup diced jalapeno peppers
- Vegetable oil, for frying
To start, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter.

Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the oil and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
