- 3. stir the dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
- 4. Beat eggs then add them to buttermilk.
- 5. Add egg mixture to dry ingredients and stir just till smooth, don't over do it.
- 6. Pull hot pan out of oven and pour hot bacon drippings into mixture. stir till mixed.
- 7. Immediately pour mixture into hot pan and bake for about 40 minutes or until the middle springs back when pressed.
- 8. Slather on the butter and enjoy! :D
