Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. Place the bacon grease in a large 12 to 14 inch cast-iron skillet. Then place the skillet in the oven to preheat.
- Set out a mixing bowl. Combine the cornmeal, sugar, and salt in the bowl. Mix well, then pour in the boiling water and continue to mix until there are no clumps.
- Remove the hot skillet from the oven. Use a 1/4 measuring cup to scoop the mixture into six portions, and place the portions of batter in the skillet. Use the back side of the measuring cup to press each portion into a 3-4 inch circle. Once all the corn pone are shaped in the skillet place them in the oven.
- Bake the corn pone for 5 minutes. Carefully flip them over, and continue to bake for another 5 to 7 minutes, until golden and crispy. Serve immediately.
Notes
- If possible, use bacon grease for frying because it creates the best flavor. For a vegan option use butter-flavored vegetable shortening.
- It will keep well for 1 or 2 days at room temperature. Store in an airtight bag or container, and keep in a cool and dry part of the kitchen.
- Refrigerate the pieces after cooling and in a sealed container if you want to keep them for up to 5 days.
- Absolutely! Let the pieces cool completely, then wrap each disc individually in plastic wrap. Place all of the corn pone in an airtight zipper bag, and keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Thaw in the fridge overnight, on the counter for an hour or so, or using the "defrost" setting on your microwave. To reheat, wrap in a lightly damp paper towel and microwave on low for a few seconds at a time. Or loosely wrap in aluminum foil and bake for 5-10 minutes in a 350-degree oven.
