Steps:

• In an 8 inch skillet add 2 tbsp. bacon grease. Use a paper towel or brush to coat the sides of skillet. Put it into oven and turn on to 350 degrees. Pre-heat for 10 minutes. ( You can cheat and put skillet on top of stove and heat till hot, but not smoking.) Heating the skillet forms a nice crust.
• In a medium bowl combine cornmeal mix, flour and sugar. Mix it up. Now add buttermilk, beaten eggs and oil and stir to mix well.
• Pour into hot skillet. Put into oven and bake 18-20 minutes @ 350 degrees. Do not over-bake as that will make it dry ! Remove from oven and slice into 6 even pieces.
• Serve with a pat of fresh salted butter, if desired. Enjoy !
