2 c. plain meal
1 qt. boiling water
1 tsp. salt
1 c. vegetable oil or solid
1 smooth cooking iron skillet

Put meal in medium bowl. Add salt and then add water gradually until mixture is mixed well, but not too thin. May not need all water. Heat grease in skillet when grease is hot. Spoon bread in skillet, let brown well before turning. Cook on medium heat. Very good southern recipe.
