CORN PONES

3 cups stone ground cornmeal
4 tablespoons finely chopped ground unroasted peanuts
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup corn oil
1 cup boiling water

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease a baking sheet.

In a big bowl mix the cornmeal with the peanuts and salt. Add the corn oil and boiling water and mix for 2 or 3 minutes. If the mixture seems too stiff add a little more boiling water. Let cool.

When cool drop by heaping tablespoonfuls on to a greased baking sheet. Each heaping tablespoonful should equal to about 1/4 cup. Flatten slightly with a fork.

Bake at 325 degrees F for 40 minutes.

Serve warm with butter and honey. If there are any leftovers toast them under the broiler for breakfast.
