List of Ingredients





Butter or grease for the spider*
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 cup milk
1 tsp baking soda dissolved in 1 cup buttermilk
1 tsp salt
1 2/3 cups cornmeal
1/3 cup flour
Additional 1 cup milk




Recipe

* a spider is a heavy pan with "legs" that was used for fireplace baking/cooking- but any heavy duty cast iron skillet/oven proof pan would do.
Beat eggs and sugar well. Mix together and add: milk, buttermilk mixture and salt and blend well. Combine cornmeal and flour and add to combined mixture.Pour mixture
into hot spider pan ( first place spider on hot stove burner and place about 2 Tbs grease in it and till to coat sides of pan well.).Pour over mixture 1 cup milk ( do not stir in ).
Place spider pan in hot oven and bake about 20 to 30 minutes. I have no temperature written down but would guess oven heat from 350 to 375F.
When done there should be a streak of custard throughout.
