Ingredients
- 2 cups Self Rising Corn Meal
- 1 cup Pork Cracklins
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 2 Eggs
- 2 Tablespoons Bacon Grease
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 450°F
Place bacon grease in cast iron skillet, over Medium heat, let melt.
Place corn meal in a medium size mixing bowl.
Add eggs.
Add buttermilk.
Stir ingredients, adding more buttermilk as needed to make a slightly thin batter.
Add the cracklins, stir well to combine.
Pour the melted bacon grease in with the batter, stir again to combine.
Pour batter into hot skillet, spread out evenly.
Place the skillet in the hot oven. Bake the bread for 20-25 minutes, or until done, at 450°F. You can test the bread if needed, by inserting a wooden toothpick in the center. If the toothpick pulls out clean, the bread is done. If the toothpick pulls out with a few crumbs clinging to it, let it bake a few more minutes until done.
Remove the pan from the oven when the bread is done. Place the skillet on a folded towel or wire rack to cool. I like to add a few pats of Butter to the top for added flavor.
After a couple of minutes, flip the baked bread out into a serving plate, or just slice and serve from the skillet.
