Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups yellow cornmeal
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1.5 cups buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil or bacon grease
- 2 tablespoons water (if needed)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
Slowly stir in the buttermilk and melted butter to form a thick batter. If the mixture is too thick to spread, add water one tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
Heat a large skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium heat and add the vegetable oil or bacon grease. Once the oil is hot, carefully tilt the pan to distribute the oil evenly.
Using a large spoon or measuring cup, scoop the batter into the skillet, forming small flat cakes. You should get 6-8 cakes, depending on size.
Cook the cakes on one side for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp, then flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the corn pones are cooked through and slightly puffed up.
Remove from the oven and let the corn pone cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite side dishes. Enjoy!
