How do you like your cornbread – sweet or savory? Well, these honey glazed cornbread donuts with crumbled bacon are both! There’s a bit of sweet and a bit of savory all in one bite.
When I baked them, I served them as a side to goulash. My son gave me the side-eye when I put one on his plate, but the second he took a bite, he went right back into the kitchen to grab another one. Success!
