Ancient Corn Pones Corn Pones are flattened cakes made from corn meal and water. Amazingly, they are baked on wooden paddles over hot coals and were an everyday staple of Native American tribes throughout the Eastern and Southeastern United States. When Europeans began colonizing the Americas, they readily adopted most Native American recipes and foods, especially corn dishes. Corn pones they renamed to "Hoecakes" or "askcakes". 1 Cup of Corn Meal 1 tsp Baking Powder 1/2 tsp Salt 1/2 Cup Water (or milk) 2 Tbs.
