Corn Bread
Probably from Majorie Fowler. Old recipe does not add shortening to batter. Fat is melted in pan, then sides tipped to grease well, then batter put in pan. This might be an error in the copying as I am not sure that the bread will work well without the shortening added to the batter. Hence, the amendment.
