Answer 2

Cornpone

Ingredients

1 c all purpose unbleached white flour
3/4 c yellow cornmeal
1 tb baking powder
1 ts salt
3 tb sugar; (up to 4)
3/4 c buttermilk
1/4 c whole milk
2 eggs; beaten
1/3 c butter or margarine; melted

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425. Using about 2-3 T. of shortening, grease a 9" inch cast iron skillet. Place the skillet in the preheated oven. In a large mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredents together. Blend well. In a smaller bowl add buttermilk, milk, and eggs. Add the melted margarine and mix well. Add the liquid mixture to the dry ingredents and mix well. Remove the hot skillet from the oven and carefully pour in the batter. Return the skillet to the oven, remembering that the skillet is still hot. Bake for 25 minutes. Remove to a plate and rub top with a stick of butter or margarine.

TIPS Have all ingredents at room temperature. Stone ground yellow corn meal works best and gives a golden color bread. Don't use no-fat margarines. They contain too much water. Mix the batter till smooth. I don't care what your Grandmother said about lumpy batter being OK. Use a seasoned cast iron skillet. You may also use a cast iron muffin pan without the paper cups. If you use any other type muffin pan the paper cups may be necessary. Spray the paper cups with PAM. Make sure the greased skillet is in the oven long enough to get hot. This will make for a crispy crust.

Answer 3

CORN PONE
from Cooking Section, September 2001




Ingredients needed:

1 cup cornmeal
One-half teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons bacon drippings
One-half cup milk

Stir together the cornmeal, baking powder and salt. Add the bacon drippings and milk. Stir well. Making about 4 pones (flattened circles) for each bowl of batter, plop the batter onto a greased cast iron skillet. Cook until golden brown on each side, flipping once. Pass the butter and enjoy. They're great with a stew or gravy too. In the past, the Indians made these with just corn meal and water and ate it as their daily bread.

To present them at school in a unique, but truly Indian style, make corn pone this way as the Sioux sometimes did, just make sure you double or triple the recipe to have enough batter.

Mix the dry ingredients; add boiling water instead of the milk and the bacon drippings. Form into small rolls and wrap in green corn husks. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 45 minutes. Check one to make sure they're done and then bring the rest in the cornhusks and serve with jam, butter or honey.

Answer 4

use cornmeal mix. mix per instructions. use 8-12" black skillet or pyrex pie plate. heat oven to 450...put 3 tablespoons crisco in the skillet & bring to temp. before adding the mix. bake about 45 minutes. cornepone is actually done on top of the stove. same way except heat the oil on a burner & after about 20 mins. you have to turn it. if you don't use mix, use 3/4 cup self-rising cornmeal & 1/2 cup self-rising flour. lol.
