-
Step 1: Put the bacon drippings in a 9 or 10-inch well-seasoned cast iron skillet and put the skillet into the oven.

Step 2: Then preheat the oven to 400°F with the skillet inside.( I do on top of stove that way I can watch the grease, yes paranoid).

Step 4: Mix egg in buttermilk.

Step 5: Add to dry ingredients.
-
Step 6: Add butter.
