Louise Frazier’s Southern Corn Bread

Preheat the oven to 350F. Combine the dry ingredients and stir in the
wet. Pour the mixture into a lightly buttered 8″ square pan and bake
for 40 minutes, checking after 30. This is a dense, chewy cornbread
and serves 6 to 8. Again, substitutions can be made: skim buttermilk,
Egg Beaters, and butter substitutes for the dripping and to grease
the pan. Do try to find stone ground cornmeal, though. It gives the
cornbread a wonderful flavor and texture. The batter may also be
fried in a large pan on to p of the stove, flipping it over so both
sides are crunchy.
