GRANDMA'S BACON FAT CORNBREAD
When you cook bacon or chicken, the rendered fat left behind in the pan is loaded with flavor so don't throw it out. Use it to add complexity to dishes like this cornbread. To save fat, let it cool slightly, then strain into an airtight container and refrigerate.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Whisk the cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda together in a large bowl. Whisk the buttermilk and eggs together in a medium bowl. Fold the wet ingredients into the cornmeal mixture until just combined; set aside.
- Heat a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over high heat. When the skillet is smoking-hot, turn off the heat and add the fat, carefully stirring it around the pan as it melts. Pour the melted fat into the cornmeal batter and stir to combine. (Do not wipe out the skillet.) Pour the cornmeal mixture into the hot skillet (batter will sizzle) and bake until the edges are golden brown and the center bounces back when pressed with a finger, 18 to 20 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

HUSK CORNBREAD
A good cornbread recipe is an essential part of any good Southern kitchen. Here, Sean Brock of Husk restaurant in Charleston, S.C., uses a specific grind and brand of cornmeal to create a fluffy texture, though similar results can be had by using a blend of cornmeal and flour. The cornbread can be cut and pan-toasted in bacon fat to provide a good base for salads or poached eggs dishes, in which the slight crunch of a pork-flavored crouton is called for.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet inside.
- In a bowl, combine the cornmeal, salt, baking soda and baking powder.
- Combine 4 tablespoons of the lard, the egg and the buttermilk. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry until smooth.
- Move the skillet from the oven to the stove top, over high heat. Add the remaining lard to the pan and swirl to coat. Pour in the batter; it should sizzle vigorously. Shake the skillet to distribute it evenly. Cook 15 to 18 minutes, or until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean.
- To make large croutons (to serve as a base for greens, poached eggs, etc.), let the cornbread cool in the pan, then turn out and cut into 2-inch pieces. (If using in soup or beans, cut into 1/2-inch cubes.) Arrange on a baking sheet and dry overnight in the turned-off oven, lightly covered with foil. Remove.
- When ready to serve, heat oven to 425 degrees and place a rimmed baking sheet inside to heat. Add the bacon fat and swirl to coat. Gently turn the cornbread pieces in it, spreading them out, and sprinkle lightly with salt. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, until brown and crisp. Serve hot.

SOUTHERN STYLE CORNBREAD
Purists will recoil in horror because as my Texan friend told me "no self respecting Southern woman would ever put sugar in her cornbread recipe" but even she admitted this is good and could not believe there was sugar in it. This bread is thin and crusty yet still tender and moist. It's nice and savory, not sweet like Northern corn breads which tend to taste like cake. This is from Cook's Illustrated.

Steps:
- Adjust oven rack to lower middle position and heat oven to 450 degrees. Set 8-inch cast-iron skillet with bacon fat (or vegetable oil) in heating oven.
- Measure 1/3 cup cornmeal into medium bowl. Mix remaining cornmeal, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in small bowl; set aside.
- Pour boiling water all at once into the 1/3 cup cornmeal; stir to make a stiff mush. Whisk in buttermilk gradually, breaking up lumps until smooth, then whisk in egg. When oven is preheated and skillet very hot, stir dry ingredients into mush mixture until just moistened. Carefully remove skillet from oven. Pour hot bacon fat (or melted butter) from the skillet into the batter and stir to incorporate, then quickly pour batter into heated skillet. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and instantly turn cornbread onto wire rack; cool for 5 minutes, then serve immediately.
- Note: Though it is preferable to make cornbread in a preheated cast-iron skillet, a 9-inch round cake pan or 9-inch square baking pan, greased lightly with butter and not preheated, will also produce acceptable results if you double the recipe and bake the bread for 25 minutes.
