Fried Corn Pone
2 cups corn meal
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup cracklings
2-1/2 cup boiling water
1 egg
Pour boiling water over meal that has been sifted with salt. Place over fire and cook for 2 minutes. Remove and add 1 egg and cracklings. (Cracklings may be omitted if desired.) Shape into croquettes with pierced cooking spoon so as not to pack the meal too firmly. Deep fry croquettes until done.
