Thanks for the story and recipe. I've never heard the term pones before. Please explain.

Hi Donna,
A pone is a hand made loaf made from a very thick batter, one that can be shaped without running together with another beside it.

Traditionally it can be baked in ashes, in an open pan in the oven, or on top of the stove.
If you glance at the comments attached to the end of the article, you will find that the one Hemophobic started explains all about pones.

Thanks for writing.
