Ingredients

  • ¼ cup duck fat
  • ¼ cup butter
  • cup white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • extra duck fat to grease the pan

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease your pan with the extra duck fat (you can use an 8 inch square pan, or its equivalent).
  • In a separate bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, salt and baking soda. Use a whisk to stir it up. Set aside.
  • Melt the duck fat and butter in a large skillet. Remove from heat and stir in sugar. Quickly add eggs and beat until well blended.
  • Add the buttermilk to the pan and stir into the mixture.
  • Stir in the set aside cornmeal mixture until well blended and only a few lumps remain. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
