Never will forget butcherin' time. Mama would cut up the hog hide with the fat on it and render the fat by frying the skins down to a crisp. That skin is what we mean by "cracklin's". Mama would save them to eat plain or put in corn bread.

1 1/2 c. corn meal
1/2 c. flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 c. cracklin's
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 1/2 c. milk

Sift together corn meal, flour, baking powder and salt. In another bowl combine beaten eggs, milk and cracklin's. Combine with dry ingredients. Mix well, pour into greased pan. Bake at 375 degrees until golden brown.
