Place a tablespoon of bacon grease in a cold cast iron skillet. Put the skillet in the oven as it preheats to 450ºF.
Meanwhile, put 2 cups of cornmeal in a bowl.
Add 3 eggs.
Pour buttermilk in a little at a time. Stir. Continue adding buttermilk until the mixture gets to a thick, runny consistency.
Once the oven is preheated, remove the skillet. Be careful! The pan is HOT! Pour the cornbread mixture into the pan. It will sizzle.
Place the skillet back into the oven and cook for 20 minutes. Remove and enjoy!
