Ingredients

1/2 c self-rising flour
1/2 c self-rising corn meal (not mix)
1 to 2 tsp sugar
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 Tbsp oil or melted bacon grease
3/4 to 1 c buttermilk (you may also use sweet milk)
oil for frying
HERE'S THE WAY THAT MY GRANNY TOLD ME...
a good-sized handfull of self-rsing flour and cornmeal
just enough sugar to taste like the sweet of the corn, but not to sweeten the bread
beat you up an egg
just a little bit of grease
a good teacup full of buttermilk

Steps:

1. Mix together flour, corn meal, and sugar into a mixing bowl. Add egg, oil and buttermilk. Mix with fork until all ingredients are moistened. Batter should be the consistency of pancake batter, so you may need to add a little more milk.
2. Heat oil in heavy skillet (I use cast iron). When oil is hot, add a little less than 1/4 cup of batter to the hot oil. Fry on medium heat for about 2-3 minutes. When golden brown, turn and cook other side until golden. Remove from pan and drain on paper towels. Serve with butter, honey butter or whatever you like.
