Instructions: Scald meal with just enough boiling water to barely moisten meal and hold it together.

Add sufficient milk to make a very thick batter.

Shape into cakes or pones.

Place in a well-greased pan and bake for 30 minutes with oven at 450 degrees.

VARIATIONS

Crackling Bread: Add 1/2 cup crackling broken into bits. Form two large pones for baking, and serve broken into smaller pieces.

Hush Puppies: Make corn pones into cakes (1 1/2" x 2" x 1") and fry in hot fat one-half inch deep in pan, until golden brown. One-half cup of chopped onion added to the recipe adds an interesting flavor.
