Calm down Martin. It’s OK. Just a baking question. Incidentally, lard or shortening will do.
Can we talk corn bread? Maybe ho’cake?
OK. I prefer a cornmeal to flour ratio of around 2:1 and slightly sweet over tart. I use white cornmeal when I can find it and bacon grease when I've got it. Usually do a double;e recipe which fits a 9x13 pan. When hot I spread butter on it; cold either butter or honey. :)
