THE BEST CORN BREAD

Steps:

• Spread bacon grease around in a 10-inch, well-seasoned, cast-iron skillet and put the skillet in the oven. Turn the oven to 450 degrees and leave it to heat while you prepare the corn bread.
• Combine the egg and buttermilk in a bowl, beating the egg slightly with a fork. Add baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir to mix well.
• Add enough cornmeal to make a thin batter, like pancake batter. Every cornmeal is different, but one and three quarters cups, more or less, should be enough. As soon as the oven reaches 450 degrees and the bacon grease is just at the point of smoking, pour the batter into the pan all at once and return immediately to the oven. Bake until the top just begins to brown, approximately 15 minutes. Remove from oven, turn onto a plate and serve immediately with plenty of butter.

MOHAVE MESQUITE BREAD

Steps:

• Combine dry ingredients.
• Add oil and water and mix until dough forms a ball and cleans the sides of the bowl.
• (Because mesquite beans and meal have a tendency to pick up any moisture from the atmosphere, the amount of water needed will vary with the weather).
• Lightly grease a cookie sheet or flat pan.
• Form the dough into a half-sphere loaf on the pan.
• Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.

Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Serve warm. Refrigerate leftovers.
