This is one of my adopted recipes. I have made it, but it still needs a little tweeking. Note: I am still working on this recipe, but I did find that I needed additional milk. I would add up to 1/2 cup regular milk to the buttermilk, or as much as you need to get the consistency you desire. I also put 2 Tablespoons oil in an iron skillet and preheated in the oven while mixing the ingredients. I then added the mixture and spooned the hot oil over the top of mixture.
Ingredients:
2 cups self-rising cornmeal
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1 tablespoon flour
2 teaspoons butter, melted
1 1/2 cups cracklings
Directions:
1. Mix all ingredients well.
2. Preheat 2 tablespoons oil in skillet in oven while mixing.
3. Put additional shortening or drippings on top.
4. Bake at 450 degrees for 20 minutes.
5. You may use a divided iron skillet or cornstick pan.
6. Actually, you can use a regular on skillet if that's all you have.
