Southern Egg Bread

Three pints of soft ground white meal, I pint of buttermilk, 2 eggs, I scant teacupful of lard, I teaspoonful of soda, ½ of a teaspoonful of salt and some sweet milk. Put the buttermilk in a bowl, add the soda, and when it foams up stir in the meal, the beaten eggs, salt and sufficient milk or cream to make a rather thin batter; last of all stir in the melted shortening. Beat hard for a moment, pour into hissing hot, well-greased pans and bake quickly in a hot oven. This is an old time Georgia recipe.
