Southern Corn Meal Pone or Corn Dodgers

The dry ingredients (cornmeal and salt) can be measured and combined up to 1 week ahead and stored in an airtight container. However, the dough should be mixed and shaped just before baking, as it does not hold well once hydrated.

Corn pone is best eaten immediately while hot and crispy. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, but will lose their crispy crust. Reheat in a 400°F oven for 5-7 minutes to restore some crispness, or split and toast like English muffins.
