CORN PONE



Corn Pone image

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

Folks in our area prefer a "wet" or moist corn bread which we call corn pone. It is often served at family meals, especially during holidays, and is a staple for Church dinners.

Categories     Bread     Quick Bread Recipes

Time 45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 5

¼ cup canola oil
1 ½ cups white cornmeal
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 ⅓ cups buttermilk
2 eggs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Place a 9 inch cast iron skillet on the center rack.
  • When the skillet is hot, carefully remove the skillet from the oven. Pour the canola oil into the skillet and gently swirl the pan to coat the bottom and the sides. Return the pan to the oven for ten minutes.
  • While the oil is heating, mix together the cornmeal and salt in a medium bowl. Add the eggs and buttermilk and mix together to make a thin batter.
  • Carefully pull out the rack with the cast iron skillet and pour the batter into the preheated skillet.
  • Bake the corn pone until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. If desired, turn the oven to broil for the last few minutes of baking to brown the top.
  • Remove the skillet from the oven and shake the pan to loosen the corn pone from the skillet. Serve the corn pone warm from the skillet or turn out onto a plate.

Tips:

  • To ensure a moist and fluffy corn pone, use buttermilk or yogurt in the batter. These ingredients will react with the baking soda to create a light and airy texture.
  • If you don't have buttermilk or yogurt on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • For a crispy crust, brush the top of the corn pone with melted butter before baking.
  • To check if the corn pone is done, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the corn pone is fully baked.
  • Corn pone can be served hot, warm, or at room temperature. It pairs well with butter, honey, or syrup.

Conclusion:

Southern corn pone bread is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed on its own or with a variety of toppings.
