This corn pone recipe is a bona fide Southern tradition. It is unsweetened, baked in a cast iron skillet, and tastes just like what Grandma used to make!
Ingredients
- 0.25 cups canola oil
- 1.5 cups white cornmeal
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 1.33 cups buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Preheat a 9-inch cast iron skillet on the center rack.

Carefully remove the preheated skillet from the oven and pour in oil; gently swirl to coat the bottom and sides. Return the skillet to the oven for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, mix together cornmeal and salt in a medium bowl. Beat in buttermilk and eggs to form a thin batter.

Carefully pull out the center rack and pour batter into hot oil in the skillet.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. If desired, turn the oven to broil for the last few minutes of baking to brown the top.

Sizzling Sherry Shrimp with Garlic
Sherry, garlic, and olive oil combine with paprika to give these sizzled shrimp a Spanish flair. In Spain, sherry or lemon juice is not always used, but either one adds a nice contrast to the richness of the oil and garlic. Works great with squid or scallops too.
