1 c. boiled rice or boiled cornmeal
1/4 c. cornmeal
2 c. buttermilk
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
2 beaten eggs
2 tbsp. melted fat or butter

Combine the ingredients in the order given and stir until blended. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Grease a 1 1/2 to 2-quart ovenproof casserole and pour in the batter. You may add crisply cooked pieces of ham or bacon to the batter before pouring into the casserole. Bake for about an hour. This is good in place of a starchy vegetable. Serves 4-6.
