INGREDIENTS:
3 ounces salt pork, chopped 1 cup stone ground yellow cornmeal 2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup milk 2 eggs 3 tablespoons bacon drippings or vegetable oil



1 Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. To make cracklings, in a saucepan, cover salt pork with water and bring to a boil. Boil 2 minutes, drain, rinse, and cover with water again. Bring to a second boil. Allow water to boil away. Reduce heat and fry until crisp. Remove cracklings to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Grease a 10-inch cast-iron skillet and place in oven. While skillet is heating, combine cornmeal and remaining ingredients in a medium bowl. Mix well. Gently stir cracklings into the batter. Remove pan from the oven. Pour batter into pan and bake 35 to 40 minutes, until golden.
