Ingredients:
3 cups corn yellow or blue corn meal
2 Tbs corn grits
1/2 cup wheat germ
1 Tbs baking powder
1 tsp salt
2 1/2 cups butter milk
2 eggs
1/4 cup oil
2 Tbs honey
Preparation:
Tune into the Grand Old Opry or put any old time music with banjo and fiddle on the turn table. Pre-heat oven and large cast iron skillet to 425F. Get out two “big enough bowls” for wet and dry ingredients. Mix wet ingredients in one bowl and dry ingredients in the other. When the oven and pan are hot, mix the wet mix into the dry mix and stir. Pull the hot pan out of the of the oven and pour enough oil into the pan to cover the bottom. Pour the batter in and bake for 20-25 minutes.
Enjoy with beans and greens.
