Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 c yellow cornmeal
2 c water, boiling
3 tsp salt
grease, enough to fry

Steps:

  • 1. Bring water to boil. Heat about a half inch of grease in cast iron skillet.
  • 2. Mix cornmeal and salt in large plastic (heatproof) bowl. Add enough boiling water to wet cornmeal and make it stick together.
  • 3. Chef's Note: We prefer yellow cornmeal as it gives more of a corn flavor when fried. A lot of people prefer white cornmeal. Two big NONO's! NO sugar and NO leavening!
  • 4. Rinse hands in cold water to prevent burning and sticking. Take a scoop of cornmeal and pat out with your hands into a pone or patty. Fry. Continue until pan is full.
  • 5. Let fry until yellow and firm on one side and then flip to cook other side. I make my pones some thick and some thin to please everyone! Experiment and find the right size to suit your family.
  • 6. Let drain on paper towels. Leftovers can be reheated in oven.
