Corn Pone - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 1/4 c. cornmeal
1 tsp. salt
4 Tbsp. lard
2/3 tsp. baking soda
3/4 c. boiling water
1/2 c. buttermilk

Preparation

Sift cornmeal with soda and salt.
Work the lard into the dry ingredients and blend well.
Add the boiling water and continue blending.
Slowly add the buttermilk until a soft dough is formed. The buttermilk should be added very slowly to ensure the dough contains enough consistency to be molded into small cakes.
Grease a skillet, heat it and place the cake in the skillet.
Flatten and bake them in a preheated oven at 350\u00b0 for 30 to 40 minutes, until lightly brown and done.
