Preparation:
I do cornbread like this: Put about 1/4 cup bacon grease in a cast iron skillet in the oven at 425 and let it heat up. While its heating take a large bowl and mangle together 1 3/4 cups of cornmeal, 1/4 cups flour, 1 T baking soda, 1 T salt, 1 T sugar, 2 eggs, and enough milk to make it wet, but not too wet..(about like pancake batter) and mix it up good. Make sure the bacon grease is sizzling in the oven, then pour the hot grease into the mixture and stir it a little more. Make sure the skillet is still real hot, then pour the mix into the skillet and cook it in the oven till its nice and brown on top. When its done, cut it like a pie and slather up with some real cow butter. You can also substitute a little honey for the sugar. Now some of these Crackers claim it don't need any sugar, but I like it better with a little sweetening in it |
