How I Made DOLLY PARTON'S CORN PONE Recipe

Grease a pan with all vegetable shortening, ensuring the bottoms and sides are covered.

In a bowl, add 2 cups of cornmeal.

Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the cornmeal.

Add 2 teaspoons of all-purpose flour to the mixture.

Add 2 teaspoons of fresh bacon grease to the bowl.

Mix the dry ingredients and bacon grease together with a spoon.

Gradually add 1 cup of milk, starting with 1/4 cup at a time, stirring after each addition.

Use hands to mix the dough until well incorporated, forming a large ball of corn dough.

Roll small balls of dough in hands, ensuring they are not too thin or small.

Place the formed corn pones in a preheated oven at 425°F for approximately 12 to 15 minutes.

Check for doneness; they should be perfect on the bottom and top.
