PUMPKIN PONE

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine water and margarine, stirring until the margarine is fully melted and the mixture is just beginning to simmer.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, sugar, and cinnamon until evenly combined.

Pour the warm margarine-water mixture into the dry ingredients along with the vanilla extract, and stir thoroughly until a stiff, cohesive dough forms.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll it out to approximately 1/8-inch thickness using a rolling pin.

Cut the dough into desired cracker shapes using a sharp knife or cookie cutter, and transfer the pieces carefully onto the prepared baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the crackers are firm, lightly golden, and dry to the touch.

Remove the crackers from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack before serving, as they will crisp further as they cool.
