To understand the full story, you need to click here for my brother Robert's quest to find this recipe. Today, while digging in my grandmother's handwritten recipe book for a Thanksgiving recipe, I found it!
Crisp Corn Cakes
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 cup flour (I remember going to the Jiffy specifically for self rising flour so crossing out the soda and salt)
1/2 tsp soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups sour milk (buttermilk)
1 egg
Cook in bacon grease...
