Title: Granny's Cornbread
Categories: Breads, Southern, Grains
Yield: 1 Skillet

2 Eggs
2 1/2 c Sifted white cornmeal
2 c Buttermilk
3 tb Melted shortening or bacon
-grease
1 ts Salt
1 ts Soda
3 ts Baking powder

Beat eggs together until light. Add milk, shortening and salt.

Add meal, being careful in putting in, as meal varies and the batter should
be a medium batter. Beat smooth. Grease and heat 8-inch skillet until
grease (I use bacon grease) is smoking. I use no shortening, only bacon
grease. Sift in the baking powder and dissolve the soda in a spoonful of
cold water. Add to mixture, stir well and pour into smoking skillet. Bake
in a good hot oven until brown and crusty, about 15 to 20 minutes.
