Ponis? Pawnis? Pauniss? It's a mid-west thing and resembles fried grits, maybe,

[QUOTE="flarnflarnflarn, post: 599020, member: 278971"] but what is it? When I was a kid, I had a great grandmother who made this stuff she called "Ponis". It's pronounced "Paw" - "Nis" (as in, don't "nis"respect me!). She grew up in Tennessee and then moved to Indiana at some point, for most of her adult life. At any rate. "Ponis", was like a white fried cake of some kind. It was definately savory, salty and greasy, but WONDERFUL!! She has long since moved on and may have taken this recipe with her, but I wanted to know what it is. Is there a recipe for it? Is there a history behind it? My best guess is that it's some kind of fried grit cake, that's it's based in corn and fried in some kind of pork fat. If memory serves it was white in color, could be be held in the hand, like any good snack, was hot and soft in the middle. I would LOVE to know if anyone knows anything about this stuff. Thanks!
