Recreated Cornbread With Cracklins

[donna]

Cracklins are the crispy, golden remainders from rendering lard. They are great to sprinkle on salads or casseroles. Also you can eat them like a snack. One way to use them is to add to cornbread.

This is older recipe I found. Thought it worth posting.

Cornbread with Cracklins:

Bacon grease
1 cup flour
1 cup cornmeal
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup lard (you can use butter or oil)
2 eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup cracklins

In large iron skillet, heat bacon grease on low until melted. In mixing bowl, stir together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add lard, eggs, and buttermilk. Stir well. Add the cracklins and mix.
Pour mixture into iron skillet. Bake in 425 oven for 20 to 25 minutes.

This is delicious cornbread.

Anyone like cornbread and buttermilk?

A good tall glass of buttermilk with a piece of cornbread is delicious. My Granny loved to have that way.

I just broke it in pieces and dropped in in the glass and ate with a spoon.

Chicharrones or cracklins are not to be confused with bagged porkrinds but are both good eatin.

Thought I loved pork rinds- and then I met cracklins.
