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. |
