Cracklin Corn Bread

2 cups cornmeal

1 cup buttermilk

2 tsp salt

1 cup cracklins

1 tsp soda

lukewarm water (optional)

1/2 tsp baking powder

Mix together the cornmeal, salt, soda, baking powder and buttermilk.

Mix cracklins into the mixture. If it is too dry, use some lukewarm water to make it the right consistency for corn bread.

Pour into a greased pan or skillet and bake in a 425 degree oven for 1/2 hour, or until brown.
