Fred'S Favorite Cornbread - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 c. self-rising corn meal
2 c. buttermilk
Pinch of salt
Pinch of sugar
1 egg, beaten

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Mix above ingredients thoroughly. Heat 1 tablespoon bacon grease in heavy black skillet.
Pour 1/2 of the heated bacon grease into bread mixture, leaving remaining grease in skillet.
Sprinkle hot skillet with a little corn meal. Pour batter into skillet.
Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
(I brush the top with butter during the last 10 minutes of cooking time and, if necessary, put under the broiler until top is golden brown.)
Let cool for 5 minutes.
Slice and serve.
