My Mamaw’s old fashioned fried bread recipe!

bread

🥗Healthier: whole grain bread

💰Cheaper: stale bread

Whole grain offers more fiber, while stale bread reduces waste.

vegetable oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Olive oil adds flavor and health benefits.

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast is lower in fat and adds a cheesy flavor.

parsley

🥗Healthier: spinach

💰Cheaper: dried herbs

Spinach is nutrient-dense and dried herbs are more affordable.

Start by adding about 2 cups of flour into a bowl.

Add buttermilk to the flour and stir until you reach your desired consistency.

Add bacon grease to the mixture, using a jar that may need to be microwaved to melt if frozen.

Add salt to the mixture, adjusting to taste.

Stir the mixture until combined and smooth.

Turn the stove on to medium heat (about a 4 setting).

Spoon the batter into a skillet, making it thin and round as you pour.

Let the batter fry until the bottom is browned, then flip to brown the other side.

Continue flipping until the bread is cooked to your liking.
