Cornbread -- Southern skillet cornbread
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Add the bacon fat to an 8-inch cast iron skillet and place the skillet into the oven to melt the fat and heat the skillet. In a bowl, mix together the cornmeal, baking powder and salt. Using mitts, carefully remove the skillet from the oven and swirl the hot fat around to coat the entire skillet. Pour the fat and butter into cornmeal mixture, stir. Add half of the buttermilk and the egg; add more buttermilk as needed to make a thick batter; don't beat. Pour the cornmeal mixture into the hot skillet. Carefully place directly into the oven and bake at 450 degrees for about 20 to 25 minutes.
Note: Can substitute milk for the buttermilk, you'll need less. Can also substitute 2 cups of self-rising cornmeal mix. Eliminate the baking powder and salt if you use a cornbread mix. I prefer White Lily brand, buttermilk, white cornbread mix.
