2 c. cornmeal
3/4 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 c. buttermilk
1/3 c. fat

Add just enough water to make a thick dough. Have a good hot fire. Pull out ashes to make a next like place. Brush out ashes down to the hearth. Put your dough in the nest. Let it set awhile and it will form a crust. Then cover with ashes and hot embers. Bake 20-30 minutes.
