Ingredients

• 4 tablespoon(s) Bacon Grease, True Southerners collect their bacon drippings into a container for future cooking needs; this is called ''Bacon Grease.''
• 2 cup(s) Plain Yellow Cornmeal, If using ''Cornmeal Mix,'' omit baking powder and substitute Self-Rising Flour for All-Purpose Flour
• 1 teaspoon(s) Baking Powder

• 1 large Egg
• 1.5 cup(s) Whole Buttermilk, No Substitute, and you may need more or less to achieve the proper consistency depending on the weather and the buttermilk itself.
