  • Step 5: Put the onions, eggs, cornmeal, pepper, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and the cooked bacon into the bowl. Mix everything together. Let it sit for 5 minutes, stirring every so often. Set it aside.

  • Step 6: Next you need to make the yogurt mixture. Get out a small bowl and add the yogurt, maple syrup, turmeric, and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Mix it together and set it aside.

  • Step 7: Place the skillet on medium heat and drop the batter into the pan. Use 1/4 cup fulls. Flatten a bit with your spatula. Let them get brown and firm on each side. Approximately 2 minutes per side.
