- 2/3 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 2 tablespoons of reserved bacon grease
- 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions

Notes
- Melt your butter by zapping it in the microwave for 30 seconds. But let it cool before adding it to the eggs.
- Reserve 20-30 pieces of bacon to place on top of the muffins.
- Baking at a high temp created the beautiful brown and crispy crust.
