How to Make Age Ol Cracklin Bread

  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, melted bacon grease, and milk.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in the cracklings.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm with butter or your favorite savory toppings!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
