Buttermilk Bacon Grease Cornbread

Directions

1. 1
   Heat oven to 425° F.
2. 2
   Grease a cast iron skillet with bacon grease and place in the oven while it heats.
3. 3
   Mix the first four ingredients in a medium mixing bowl. Cut in the fat with your fingers or two knives, mixing well until you have a sandy texture.
4. 4
   Combine the eggs and the buttermilk, add to the dry ingredients, and mix to combine well.
5. 5
   Pour the mixture into the hot skillet and bake for 20 minutes. Invert onto a plate. I like to serve it upside down with the nice crispy side up like my grandma did!
