1 tablespoon bacon grease (can use vegetable oil but flavor will differ)

1 egg
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 - 1 1/2 cup milk

Put bacon grease into cast iron skillet.
Put skillet into oven to melt and remove as soon as it's melted being sure to swirl around to coat the skillet.
Meanwhile, mix flour, cornmeal, egg, baking powder and milk-use the full cup of milk and then add until you get the right texture.You want it slightly thick but not too thick.
Add bacon grease to batter and pour back into skillet.
Bake for about 45 minutes-it will be very golden brown.
