DELICIOUS CORN PONE

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cornmeal, sugar, and salt.
• Slice the butter over top the dry ingredients.
• Add the boiling water and stir to mix ingredients together.
• Add the flour and baking powder; stir to mix in well.
• Beat eggs, mix with the milk and add to the rest of the ingredients.
• Stir to mix well. Be sure to get all the lumps out. Hint: When you are pouring into pan, stop if you see lumps and beat with mixer on medium.
• Spray a 13 x 9-inch pan with Pam.
• Pour in your baking pan.
• Bake 1 hour in a preheated 325 degree oven.
• Then lower the temperature to 300 degrees and bake 1 hour.
• Do NOT cut until at least 1/2 hour after taking out of the oven.
• Note: The number of servings will depend on how you cut the squares.
• If you cut the square into 1-inch pieces you will get a large number, but people will go back for more and more. We like the larger squares.
