Ingredients:  
1 1/2 cups yellow corn meal
1 tsp salt
1 cup milk
1 egg
2 Tbsp shortening
Directions:
Directions:
Heat shortening in a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
Whisk together the dry ingredients; add the milk and egg. Pour batter into the hot oil and allow to cook until a crust forms on the bottom, 8 to 10 minutes.
Using a metal spatula or spoon, begin turning batter over as it cooks, so the browned part is on top. Once all has been turned, reduce heat to medium low, cover and allow to continue crusting on the bottom and steaming, turning occasionally, until cooked through and has the appearance of cooked, crumbled cornbread.
Serve as you would with cereal, spooned into individual bowls, sprinkled with sugar or topped with butter and drizzled with cane syrup or honey. Pour milk, cream, buttermilk or hot coffee milk, around the cereal.
