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

2 Eggs
2 1/2 c Sifted white cornmeal
2 c Buttermilk
3 T 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, or you may use cast iron
cornbread molds.

Bake in a good hot oven until brown and crusty, about 15 to 20
minutes.
