Cornmeal Pone

By Hklbrries

Mix 1 quart cornmeal with 1 teaspoon salt, a little melted lard, and cold water enough for a soft dough. Mould with the hands into thin oblong cakes, lay in a buttered pan, and bake very quickly. An ash cake is a pone laid on the hot hearth, covered with hot ashes, and baked.
