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

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons bacon drippings
1/2 cup milk

Steps:

  • 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.
  • 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.

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

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 ounces semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup white cornmeal
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon pure ancho chile powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup buttermilk
Custard, recipe follows
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
2 cups milk
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup sugar
6 egg yolks

Steps:

  • Set a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan. Line it with a disk of parchment paper or buttered waxed paper. Melt the chocolate and butter in the top of a double boiler over barely simmering water or in a small bowl set over a saucepan of just-simmering water. Remove from the heat.
  • Put the flour, cornmeal, sugar, chile powder, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl and stir together with a whisk. Stir in the eggs and buttermilk, then stir in the chocolate mixture. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Bake for 20 minutes, or until set and a tester comes out clean. Cool in the pan on a wire rack. Break the corn bread into 1-inch chunks. Spread in a shallow 2-quart baking dish.
  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Melt the chocolate in the top of a double boiler over barely simmering water or in a small bowl set over a saucepan of just-simmering water. Remove form heat. In a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the milk, cream, and 1 tablespoon of the sugar and bring to a scald. Meanwhile, put the remaining sugar and the egg yolks in a large bowl and whisk just to blend. While gently whisking the yolks, drizzle in the hot cream mixture so the yolks are gradually warmed up. Whisk in the melted chocolate.
  • Using a fine sieve, strain the custard over the corn bread chunks. Wiggle the chunks around so they are well soaked. Place the baking dish in a roasting pan and add enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the dish. Bake for 40 minutes or until the custard is set.

DELICIOUS CORN PONE



Delicious Corn Pone image

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!

Time 2h12m

Yield 24-30 pone, 24-30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 1/2 cups cornmeal, yellow
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup butter, sliced and softened
4 cups boiling water
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups milk, room temp
2 eggs, room temp

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cornmeal, sugar, and salt.
  • Slice the butter over top the dry ingredients.
  • Add the boiling water and stir to mix ingredients together.
  • Add the flour and baking powder; stir to mix in well.
  • Beat eggs, mix with the milk and add to the rest of the ingredients.
  • Stir to mix well. Be sure to get all the lumps out. Hint: When you are pouring into pan, stop if you see lumps and beat with mixer on medium.
  • Spray a 13 x 9-inch pan with Pam.
  • Pour in your baking pan.
  • Bake 1 hour in a preheated 325 degree oven.
  • Then lower the temperature to 300 degrees and bake 1 hour.
  • Do NOT cut until at least 1/2 hour after taking out of the oven.
  • Note: The number of servings will depend on how you cut the squares.
  • If you cut the square into 1-inch pieces you will get a large number, but people will go back for more and more. We like the larger squares.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cornmeal: For a finer texture, use finely ground cornmeal. For a coarser texture, use medium or coarsely ground cornmeal.
  • Use buttermilk or yogurt: These ingredients add moisture and tanginess to the cornbread.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make the cornbread tough.
  • Bake the cornbread in a hot oven: This will help it rise and develop a crispy crust.
  • Let the cornbread cool before slicing: This will help it hold its shape.

Conclusion:

Cornpone is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a side dish, snack, or even as a main course. With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, it's a great option for busy weeknights or casual gatherings. Whether you prefer it plain or dressed up with additional ingredients, cornpone is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
