Ingredients

¼ cup Butter
2 cups Self Rising Cornmeal Mix
½ cup Plain Flour
2 & ½ cups Buttermilk
2 eggs beaten
1 cup cooked Pork Cracklin's

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Chop cracklings carefully with a knife to bite size pieces. Sometime cracklings can be kind of big and irregular in size. Chopping them gets them a little smaller and more uniform. Add eggs to buttermilks and lightly beat. Add in cracklings and allow to sit in buttermilk and egg mixture. Mix well.
Place butter in a 10 in cast iron skillet and place in the oven while it preheats. Allow the butter to melt while you prepare your ingredients. Once everything is mixed, carefully remove the skillet right when you are ready to pour in your batter.
Sift flour and cornmeal together and place in a
large mixing bowl. Add in wet ingredients and mix well.
Pour batter in the hot skillet on top of the melted butter. Do not mix.
Bake 25-30 minutes until browned. Cool and remove from pan and Enjoy!
