Appone (Maize cake) by Lisa Youngman

Ingredients
2 cups cornmeal
½ tsp. of salt (or more, to taste)
Enough boiling water to make a semi-stiff mush

Directions
Mix together all ingredients.  Spread the mixture approximately half an inch thick in a well-greased heavy pan.  Bake at 375 degrees F for 20 to 25 minutes, or until cooked through.

Alternatively, form the dough mixture into elongated 3 inch “bun” shapes, placing them on a greased baking sheet.  Bake at 375 degrees F for approximately 15 minutes or until the edges begin to brown.

Pone by Lisa Youngman
Pone is a European-modified Appone recipe.

Ingredients
2 cups milk
1 cup cornmeal
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
3 eggs, separated
½ cup butter

Directions
Heat the milk almost to a boil and stir in the cornmeal, sugar, and salt.  Cook until thickened while stirring constantly.  Remove the mixture from the heat and allow to cool slightly before adding the lightly-beaten egg yolks and butter.  Fold in the egg whites which have been stiffly-beaten.  Pour the batter into a heated, buttered 2 quart casserole dish.  Bake at 350 degrees F for approximately 50 minutes.  To serve, spoon the hot bread onto a plate and top with butter.
