Things You'll Need:
- 1-cup plain cornmeal
- 1/2 cup self rising flour
- 1teaspoon of salt
- 2teaspoons of baking powder
- 1 Tablespoon of sugar
- 1egg
- 1heaping Tablespoon of mayonaise
- enough milk to stir
-
Step 1
Be sure you have good fresh cracklins. I buy them at our local country grocery store. The big chain stores sometimes have no idea what you are talking about when you ask for cracklins.
-
Step 2
first mix all of your dry ingredients. then put a large spoonful of fried meat grease in a iron skillet and get hot.
-
Step 3
Add the egg, mayo and milk to the dry ingredients. make a very soft batter. then stir in a cup of cracklins. mix this well. then pour part of the hot fried meat grease from the skillet into the batter and stir well.
-
Step 4
Now sprinkle about a tablespoon of cornmeal into the hot grease that is in the skillet. It should be very hot and brown the meal quickly. now pour the batter into the skillet and bake on 475 degrees until golden brown....just wail til you smell that cooking in your house.....it is better than potpouri.....
