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.

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!

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

- Use a hot oven: A hot oven will help your corn pone bread rise and brown properly. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit before baking.
- Let the corn pone bread cool before slicing: Letting the corn pone bread cool before slicing will help it hold its shape. Wait at least 10 minutes before slicing the bread.
