Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup cornmeal Foundation of the corn pone.
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour Helps create a tender crumb.
  • 2 tbsp sugar Adds sweetness.
  • 1 tbsp baking powder Acts as a leavening agent.
  • 1/2 tsp salt Enhances overall flavors.
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsweetened plant-based milk Contributes creaminess.
  • 1/2 cup canned coconut milk Adds richness.
  • 4 tbsp vegan butter For moisture and crust.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. Pour in the plant-based milk, coconut milk, and 1 tablespoon of melted vegan butter, stirring until just combined. Let it rest for 15 minutes.
  4. Place a cast iron skillet in the preheated oven for about 5-10 minutes. Once heated, grease it with the remaining 3 tablespoons of melted vegan butter.
Baking
  1. Carefully pour the batter into the prepared skillet, spreading it evenly.
  2. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
  3. Enjoy the corn pone immediately with additional vegan butter if desired.

Notes

Let the batter rest to improve texture. For deeper flavor, use yellow cornmeal. Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the batter for a nice crust.
