- 1 tbsp bacon drippings
- 2 cup cornmeal yellow, white if you have it
- 2 tsp Baking soda
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tbsp Sugar white
- 1 whole egg
- 1 1/4 cup buttermilk
- 6 tbsp Butter salted
- Preheat your cast iron skillet with bacon drippings in the oven at 400* F. If you don't have a cast iron skillet you can also use a dutch oven or metal cake pan.
- While your cast iron heats up, make the batter. Whisk together all dry ingredients and wet ingredients in separate bowls. Melt your 6 tbsp of butter, then add the wet and dry ingredients together.
- When your pan and oven are hot, grab it and add your batter to the pan. Spread the batter evenly over the surface
- Bake the corn bread for about 20 minutes or until the edges and top start to brown.
- Rest your bread in your cast iron and serve warm!
Don't have buttermilk? For each cup of buttermilk, you can use 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice plus enough milk to measure 1 cup. Stir the ingredients together and let rest for 5 minutes.
