Corn Pones - 7 Sticks

[JBPoole]

I'm not much of a cook, but I tried this recipe last night and the corn sticks were wonderful. Perfect for 7 stick corn stick pans...

Grandma’s Corn Pones
Makes 7 corn bread sticks

Ingredients:
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Preheat oven to 400F.
Generously grease corn pone pan with shortening and place in oven while it preheats.
In a medium mixing bowl, stir together dry ingredients. In a small mixing bowl, combine milk, egg, and oil. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix thoroughly.
Pour all batter evenly into hot pan. Bake for 20 minutes at 400F.
Serve warm with butter and honey.

Sounds good! My regular corn bread recipe makes way more than will fit in my corn stick pan. I end up having to cook it in batches, which isn't very convenient. Maybe I'll try just making this smaller batch, and tell the guys they only get one or two! LOL

I solved the problem of a recipe of cornbread making too much to fit in a single corn stick pan by acquiring more gem pans.

Now I make any combination of cornsticks, cornbread circles, cornbread rectangles, cornbread french rolls, cornbread muffins, cornbread golfballs, and cornbread turks heads.

Variety is fun, right? And gem pans are addictive...

I found out the hard way that you have to preheat those corn stick pans...lol

Try adding a little cinnamon and a little extra sugar to this recipe. Gives it a sweeter flavor...

We just use a skillet.........and never add sugar. This says it much better than I can and probably won't make ya mad!
