This is an old civil war recipe that was found to be very good made from a hoe garden tool back then. Of course, if you don't have a garden hoe handy, a cast iron skillet should do.
Ingredients:
2 cups cornmeal
1 teaspoon salt
1/2-3/4 cup water
2 tablespoons bacon drippings
Directions:
1. Add salt to cornmeal, then water, & lastly, 1 T of the bacon drippings.
2. Heat the other T of drippings in a heavy iron skillet & make a round cake of cornmeal dough about 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick.
3. Place in hot skillet & cook slowly on top of stove (or over open fire) until brown on one side, then turn & brown the other side.
4. Serving size is approximate.
