Southern Crackling Cornbread

[Rolling_trip]

2 cups of self rising corn meal
3/4 cup of self rising flour
1 bag of fresh cracklings
2 medium eggs
1/4 cup of vegetable oil
2 cups butter milk

Preheat oven to 450 F

Whisk corn meal and flour till well blended.
Add eggs, oil, milk to the dry ingredients until smooth.
Add cracklings by folding in. The mixture should be thin enough to easily pour, if not add small amounts of butter milk till you reach that consistency.

Pour a small amount of vegetable oil in a cast iron skillet and put it in the oven for 8-10 mins. Pull the skillet out of the oven and rotate it until the oil covers the bottom and half the way up the side of the skillet. Immediately pour the mixture into the skillet and place in the oven. You should hear a sizzle when you pour.

Bake for 20-25 mins, or until the top is golden brown.

This is a perfect pairing for Vegetable Soup and such, or Greens. This is basically a pass down from my family.
