Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°. Add 1/2 tablespoon of bacon grease to 2 mini cornbread skillets (3-inch). Place skillets on a baking tray and heat in oven for 3-5 minutes. Make cornbread while pans preheat.

Step 3

Mix dry ingredients in a bowl. Stir to combine.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, combine wet ingredients and stir until evenly mixed.

Step 7

Add wet to dry ingredients and stir with a spatula until batter is smooth. Carefully brush hot bacon grease onto the sides of the hot skillets. Divide between preheated cast iron pans. Bake at 400° for 8-12 minutes. Check at 8 minutes. Remove and serve immediately with plenty of butter.
