Preheat the oven to 450°F. Place the bacon grease in a large 12 to 14 inch cast-iron skillet. Then place the skillet in the oven to preheat.
Set out a mixing bowl. Combine the cornmeal, sugar, and salt in the bowl. Mix well, then pour in the boiling water and continue to mix until there are no clumps.
Remove the hot skillet from the oven. Use a ¼ measuring cup to scoop the mixture into six portions, and place the portions of batter in the skillet. Use the back side of the measuring cup to press each portion into a 3-4 inch circle. Once all the corn pone are shaped in the skillet place them in the oven.
Bake the corn pone for 5 minutes. Carefully flip them over, and continue to bake for another 5 to 7 minutes, until golden and crispy. Serve immediately.
