1/2 cup of self-rising flour
2 teaspoons of sugar
1/3 cup of buttermilk
1 egg
1/3 cup of water
2 tablespoons of melted fat or bacon grease
butter.
In a large bowl, mix together all your dry ingredients. Gradually add in your buttermilk before mixing in the egg. Add water and fat and stir everything up again. By the end, the texture should be like thick soup. Get out a skillet or griddle and heat it to medium-high, greasing it up with butter. Fry your batter in it in two-tablespoon dollops. Fry them until they bubble and flip over, cooking to your liking. Dry them off on paper towels and serve.
