Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously butter a 9x13 inch baking pan. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, sugar, flour, and salt until well combined. (Prep time: 3 minutes)

03

Step

In a saucepan, bring the water to a rolling boil. Add the butter and stir until completely melted and fully incorporated into the water. Remove from the heat and allow the mixture to cool until just lukewarm, approximately 15 minutes. (Cook time: 8 minutes, Cool time: 15 minutes)

04

Step

Once cooled, whisk in the milk and eggs until the mixture is smooth and homogenous. Gently stir in the cornmeal mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

05

Step

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading evenly. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

06

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until the top is dry and golden brown, about 45 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean. (Bake time: 45 minutes)

07

Step

Allow the Corn Pone to cool in the pan for at least 45 minutes before cutting into squares. This allows it to set properly and prevents it from crumbling. (Cool time: 45 minutes)

For a richer flavor, use melted brown butter instead of regular butter.
If you prefer a sweeter Corn Pone, increase the sugar to 3/4 cup.
A dash of vanilla extract can add a subtle depth of flavor.
Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite jam.
