Mrs. Daughdrill's Corn Pones
Ingredients
- This makes 10 to 12 pones.
- 2 cups of yellow cornmeal
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1 heaping teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup of buttermilk
- 1/3 cup of oil
- 1/2 cup of water
Directions
Pre-heat your oven to 450 degrees. Mix the dry ingredients,
then add the liquid ingredients and stir. “The important thing is the
consistancy -- not too stiff, not too thin,” says Mrs. D. Put, by large
spoonfuls, on a greased baking sheet. The batter should not run but stand
up. You can add extra water or extra cornmeal to get it right. Bake for
12 to 15 minutes or until brown. You can turn them over at 12 minutes
and continue another 3 minutes or more. Serve immediately with lots of
butter.
Notes
Joan Daughdrill's hand written original of this recipe
has been on our refrigerator door for the past 10 years. And it was getting
hard to read -- so here's an easy to read version.
