Preamble: This recipe is a sample of similar recipes; they all share the basic ingredients but vary slightly to wildly; one even called for yogurt, and another for skillet frying instead of baking. Choose the portions as you like; for my first try I pretty much when with the nominal.

Directions vary widely:
1. Use 8 x 8 or 9 x 9 pan.
2. Heat oven to 375 to 425*F; nominal is 400*F
3. Grease pan with bacon drippings or oil or butter.
4. Mix dry ingredients in one bowl
5. Melt butter and mix with wet ingredients in another bowl
6. Combine bowls to create batter; eliminate lumps
7. Bake for 20-25 minutes; use toothpick method. Crust should be golden-brown.
8. Let cool for 5 minutes before carving.

Personal Notes:
This recipe was made in parallel to the Black-eyed Beans & Ham recipe, to be served together. I like making recipes from scratch! I'll post tasting notes after I eat a few :o)
