Both of my sister-in-laws parents were born in the mountains of North Carolina. This is her family recipe; couldn't believe how simple it is!

Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4-1/2 cup corn oil or 1/4-1/2 cup bacon grease
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup cornmeal
1 cup flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar, heaping

Steps:

  • Put corn oil or bacon grease in a 6" iron skillet and put your skillet in the oven to preheat to 400 degrees. While it's preheating, slightly beat eggs into milk.
  • Sift together the corn meal, flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  • Mix the dry and wet ingredients together.
  • When the oil/oven is preheated, pour the oil or grease into the mixture, leaving a layer in the pan. Stir quickly. Pour batter in the pan, and bake for about 20 minutes or so, until when you stick a toothpick in it, it comes out clean.
