6 ounces bacon, cooked, crumbled, drippings reserved (1/2 cup crumbled)
1 cup fine stone-ground yellow cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking soda

1
Heat the oven to 400 degrees F and arrange a rack in the middle.

3
Combine cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl and whisk to aerate and break up any lumps.

In a medium bowl, combine butter, buttermilk, eggs, and thyme and whisk until incorporated and smooth.

Add wet ingredients to dry, stirring just until incorporated, about 1 minute.
6
Divide batter evenly (about 1/3 cup) among the wells, and sprinkle about 1 heaping teaspoon of bacon over each muffin top.
7
Bake muffin tops until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 15 minutes.
8
Let sit in the pans 5 minutes before removing.
