1 cup (250 milliliters) all-purpose flour
-
1 cup (250 milliliters) yellow cornmeal
-
1 cup (250 milliliters) granulated sugar
-
2 teaspoons (10 milliliters) baking powder
-
1/2 teaspoons (2 milliliters) baking soda
-
1/2 teaspoons (2 milliliters) salt
-
1/2 cup (125 milliliters) sour cream

2 1/4 cups (560 milliliters) coconut milk

2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) butter
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
- In a large bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt and form a well in the center.
- In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, coconut milk and bacon drippings. Pour two cups (500 milliliters) of this mixture into the center of the flour mixture and mix well to combine.
