Corn Pone.
2 cups White Cornmeal.
1 teaspoon Salt.
1/4 teaspoon Baking Soda.
4 Tablespoons Lard.
3/4 cup Boiling Water.
1/2 c Buttermilk.
Stir Cornmeal, salt, and baking soda together. Work in lard until well mixed. Pour in boiling water and continue to work. Gradually add enough Buttermilk to make a soft dough but keep it firm enough to be molded in to small oblong cakes. Place in a Hot, well greased skillet and bake in a 350F oven for about 40 minutes.
