A little about categorizing bread. Our system is not scientific by a long shot. We've placed them into table, flat, dessert, and fried. Table bread may include loaves of sandwich-type bread or something designed to serve as a loaf or dinner bun at the table. Flat is generally un-yeasted bread that is flat (duh!). Fried can be pan-fried or deep-fried. Dessert is for delectables such as banana bread. The words dressing and stuffing are interchangeable, depending where you live. Many will contain bread, others may not. This is dizzying.
1 egg
3 tablespoons shortening or bacon fat
1 ⅛ cups buttermilk
1 ¼ cups cornmeal
2 tablespoons sugar
¼ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup crushed pork cracklins
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a 9x9 inch square baking dish. In a medium bowl, mix together the egg, shortening and buttermilk. In a separate bowl, stir together the cornmeal, sugar, flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until smooth, then stir in the pork cracklin's. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until center is set and the top is slightly brown.
