CORN PONE
My husband's grandmother gave me this corn pone recipe years ago. She always made it with bacon drippings, which is heavenly, but if you're trying to be a little more health-conscious, you can use canola oil or a combination of the two. I cook it until it's crisp almost all the way through. It's delicious hot, warm or cold. -Tina Quiggle, LaGrange, Georgia

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°. Add oil to a 12-in cast iron or oven-proof skillet; place in oven. In a large bowl, whisk together all cornmeal, salt and water. Mixture will be thick. Carefully spread mixture evenly in skillet, spooning some of the oil on top of batter. Bake until edges start to brown, about 35 minutes. To serve, break into pieces and serve with butter and honey if desired.

EASY CORNPONE
There are many versions of cornpone (or corn pone), a true staple of the American South. But the root of it all is a simple, easy cornmeal dish that's like cornbread, only in this case without out the leavener, eggs and buttermilk. The savory little patties are proof that you don't need a lot of ingredients to make something tasty. They're great for dipping in soups and stews, as a stand-in for biscuits as a breakfast side or on their own, slathered with butter and molasses or honey, for a quick snack. One bite and you will see why cornpone has lasted through the years.

Steps:
- Put a large cast-iron skillet in the oven and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Whisk the cornmeal, oil, warm water and salt together in a large bowl until combined. The batter will be a little thicker than pancake batter, so it is easy to scoop with a spoon.
- Remove the hot skillet from the oven and add the remaining tablespoon of oil, swirling to coat. Spoon the batter into the skillet, making 7 to 8 ovals (each about 1/3 cup). Flatten the tops a bit with the back of the spoon. It is fine if the ovals touch slightly.
- Bake until the ovals are golden on the bottom and firm on top, about 40 minutes. Serve with butter and molasses or honey if using.

CORN PONE
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. courtesy of www.emerils.com

Steps:

- To present them in a unique, but truly Indian style, make corn pone this way as the Sioux sometimes did.
- 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 corn husks and serve with jam, butter or honey.

DELICIOUS CORN PONE
This is a very OLD recipe that makes the most marvelous moist cornbread! I was given this recipe by a dear relative who was a neighbor of mine after I was married. Jeannette taught me so many things about cooking and baking. This was her grandmother's corn pone recipe. Everyone loves it and asks me for the recipe. I have not found a recipe here that is like it. This can be served all year round. It is requested at all family and Church dinners. It does not taste anything like the drier cornbreads. Some area restaurants include pieces of this type of moist pone in their bread baskets. I hope you try it and like it too!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F., rack in the middle position.
- Melt the butter. Add the sugar and mix. Let the mixture cool to room temperature and then stir in the egg. Add all of the rest of the ingredients except the flour, mixing after each addition. Add the flour, one cup at a time, and mix it throughly. Let the cookie dough sit for 5 minutes to "rest.".
- Drop by spoonful on a greased cookie sheet, 12 cookies per standard-size sheet. (If the dough is too sticky, refrigerate it for a few minutes to firm it up.) Flatten the cookies with a greased spatula. Bake at 375 degrees F. for 8-10 minutes.
- When the cookies come out of the oven, leave them on cookie sheets and immediately press pieces of candy corn on top as a design. Do this right away, so that the candy will stick after the cookies have cooled.
- Let the cookies cool on sheets for 2 minutes and then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Steps:
- Brown meat and onion in melted shortening.
- Add seasonings and tomatoes.
- Cover and simmer 15 minutes.
- Add kidney beans.
- Pour into a greased casserole dish.
- Top with corn bread batter.
- Bake at 425 degrees for 20 minutes.
Tips:
- Use fresh corn: Fresh corn gives the cookies a sweeter, more flavorful taste. If you can't find fresh corn, you can use frozen or canned corn, but the cookies won't be as good.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies until they are golden brown: The cookies are done baking when they are golden brown around the edges. If you insert a toothpick into the center of a cookie and it comes out clean, the cookies are done.
Conclusion:
Corn pone cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover corn, and they can be customized to your liking. Whether you like them sweet or savory, chewy or crispy, there is a corn pone cookie recipe out there for you.
