Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 to 2 cups buttermilk (you will need enough to make a batter about the thickness of pancake batter; the amount of needed will vary according to the fineness of the cornmeal used, the thickness of the and the size of the eggs)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Combine the cornmeal, sugar, salt, and baking soda in a large mixing bowl. Place the lard in an 8-inch heavy iron skillet, set in oven, and let melt. Meanwhile, mix the eggs lightly into the combined dry ingredients, then stir in just enough buttermilk to make a batter about the consistency of pancake batter.
- Remove skillet from the oven, tilt so that lard greases both the sides and the bottom, and then pour the hot lard into the batter. Stir briskly just to mix.
- Pour batter into the hot skillet and bake in hot oven until firm and lightly browned, about 25 minutes. Serve oven-hot, directly from skillet. The way to eat batter bread is to cut it into wedges as you would a cake, then to split each wedge horizontally and tuck in a lump or two of sweet butter while the bread is still hot enough to melt it.
