Directions:

Prep Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 55 mins

1. 1 Preheat oven to 500°

2. 2 Put 3 tablespoons Crisco in the iron skillet and melt. Set aside.

3. 3 In a bowl, mix cornmeal, egg and buttermilk to right consistency (should not be thick nor too liquidy). Pour the melted shortening into the mixture, leaving a small amount in the skillet so the bread will not stick, and stir. Sprinkle a little bit of cornmeal in the skillet then pour the mixture into the skillet.

4. 4 Bake at 500° until it is deliciously golden brown.
