Corn Pone has a long and endearing history going back as far as Native Americans, Revolutionary War, and wonderful Southern Cooking. I have wanted to share this recipe for quite a while now and I hope you enjoy my version of Corn Pone.
Not an original recipe, just my version, with some of my favorite Cabot Creamery New York Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese.
Corn Pone is usually cooked two ways, stove top by frying and baking using a sheet pan or cast iron skillet. I prefer to fry my Corn Pone recipe using just a 1/2 inch of canola oil in a cast iron skillet.
