Spicy cornbread elevated with savory fried pork cracklings.
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon shortening
  • 1 cup pork cracklings (fried pork skins)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
  • 1 cup buttermilk
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Combine cornmeal, salt, and baking soda in a bowl and set it aside. Place shortening in a 9-inch cast iron skillet, then heat in the preheated oven until the shortening is melted and the skillet is hot.
  • In a small saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add pork cracklings and simmer until tender, for 5 to 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • In a bowl, whisk together egg, jalapeño pepper, and buttermilk until combined. Add cracklings and mix well. Fold in the cornmeal mixture until just moistened, then pour the batter into the preheated skillet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the top of the cornbread is golden brown and firm to the touch, 30 to 40 minutes. Transfer to a serving plate, cut into wedges, and serve right away.
