      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.
