Corn Pone Recipe
- 2 cups water-ground white cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon Royal Baking Powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup cold water
- ½ cup milk
- 1 tablespoon melted lard or butter
- Sift the meal, baking powder, and salt into a mixing bowl. Add the water and milk. Stir well, add melted fat, and let the mixture rest for 10 minutes.
- Then take the batter and shape it into pones by cupping both hands together and patting it into form.
- Place each pone upon a baking sheet an inch apart from the others and bake in a preheated 375° oven for 15 to 20 minutes—no longer or the bread will dry out.
