   2       c            Cornmeal -- sifted *
     3/4   ts           Baking soda
     1/2   ts           Salt
   1                    Egg
   1 1/2   c            Buttermilk
   1 1/2   tb           Lard or vegetable shortening
   1 1/2   tb           Butter

  Preheat oven to 400°F.
  
  Grease two 6-cup muffin tins with vegetable shortening or lard.
  Place in oven to heat.
  
  Sift corn meal, soda, and salt into a mixing bowl.
  
  Beat egg with buttermilk. Heat shortening with butter until melted;
  add to egg and buttermilk and blend. Add to dry ingredients all at
  once and stir just enough to give the mixture a rough appearance.
  Add additional buttermilk if mixture seems too dry.
  
  Pour into hot muffin pans and bake about 20 minutes, or until
  lightly browned. Serve hot with plenty of soft butter and any
  homemade jelly or jam.
