In Frank Stitt's 'Southern Table'. While I love sweet cornbread, my dad and his family think it is a travesty and not at all Southern. Here is a savory version, by a master Southern chef. My dad approves. Do not substitute lower fat ingredients.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450°.
- Preheat an 8-to9-inch cast-iron skillet in the hot oven.
- Add cornmeal and flour to a large bowl; stir in the milks, a little at a time, mixing with a large wooden spoon; the batter will be quite loose.
- Meanwhile, add the bacon fat to the preheated skillet, return it to the oven, and heat until the fat is very hot, about 5 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from the oven; pour all but 1 tablespoon of the hot fat into the cornmeal mixture and stir to combine.
- Add the egg and stir to combine.
- Pour the cornmeal mixture into the hot skillet and immediately place it in the oven.
- Bake for 20-30 minutes, until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and unmold; serve hot.
