Ingredients
- 3 tsp. bacon drippings or butter
- 2 cups Martha White or White Lily self-rising cornmeal
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 to 1 ½ cups buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Coat a 9-inch cast-iron skillet with 1 tsp. of the bacon drippings and place it in the oven to get it nice and hot.
- In a large bowl, combine the remaining 2 tsp. of baking drippings, the cornmeal, and salt and mix well. Slowly add the buttermilk, stirring until the batter is stiff, but smooth and blended. Use just enough strokes to combine. Don't beat or whisk.
- Remove the skillet from the oven, and scrape the batter into the pan, spreading it evenly. The batter should sizzle as it goes into the pan. Immediately transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake until light brown around the edges, about 25 minutes.
- Cut in wedges and serve warm with plenty of butter.
