Cornpone - The Recipe

Cryptic recipe

Published with Blogger-droid v1.6.4

As you can see, the recipe is quite basic.

Here it is from how I made it tonight:

 Put 2TBS oil in a skillet (cover the bottom) and put it in the oven while it preheats to 400. I use olive oil.

1.5 cups fine white corn meal

1 tsp salt

1 TBS baking powder

1.5 cups hot tap water.

 

Mix all the dry stuff. Mix in the hot water gradually. You want the batter to be not soupy, but not too thick.   See pics above for how the batter should look. You want it to spread out a bit when it is spooned in the hot skillet. Bake for 30 minutes.

Yummy!

It's funny how simple and cheap it is. No wonder my country kinfolk lived on the stuff!
