Make a batter of water and corn meal. Salt slightly and
bake in cakes 1/2 inch thick on a well buttered griddle. Cook
slowly, first one side and then the other. A favorite Southern
dish. Mixed with sweet milk and the addition of an egg, they
will be found very nice.

Mix 1/4 teaspoon of salt with 1 cup of corn meal. Add boiling
water to merely wet and swell the meal. Thin with milk to a
thick batter that will not spread when dropped. Stir in 1 teaspoon
of baking powder. Spread the dough in 1 large cake on a well
buttered griddle. When browned underneath, turn the cake over,
having first put a bit of butter on the top to make fresh greasing
for that surface. Peel off the thin crust, lay it on a plate and
spread with butter. When another brown crust has formed
beneath, turn the cake over again, remove and butter that crust
and repeat the process until only a thin crust remains. Put the
crusts together and serve in sections.

One pt. sifted meal, 1 large tablespoonful lard, 1/2 pt. cold
water, 1 pinch salt. Heat the griddle. This is better than a tin,
as it will not scorch on the bottom. Mix the ingredients well.
Shape the dough into balls, a little larger than an egg. Drop them
on a griddle and bake in the oven until brown on the bottom;
change and brown the top. Serve hot with plenty of butter.
Delicious. Instead of lard, 1/2 cupful of cracknels rubbed fine
may be substituted and the cakes called cracknel dodgers.

One cup of flour, 1 cup of corn meal. Mix with 2 tablespoonfuls of baking powder. Mix with this butter the size of a walnut, 1 egg, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 2 dessertspoons of sugar, 1 cup of sweet milk.

One cup of molasses, 1 1/2 cups of sour cream, 2 teaspoons of
soda, 1 teaspoon of salt, 2 cups of corn meal, 2 cups of flour.
Steam 3 hours. Do not raise the cover or let the water stop boiling.
This is just right for a 2-qt. basin.

One and 1/2 cups corn meal, 1/2 cup flour, 2/3 cup milk, 1 egg,
salt, large tablespoon butter, 3 level teaspoons baking powder.
Spread quite thin, bake 20 minutes.

One pt. corn meal, scant; 1 even tablespoon of flour, 1 pt. of
milk, 2 eggs, two teaspoons of baking powder, 1/2 cup of boiled
rice, pinch of salt. Beat eggs thoroughly, add rice, flour, meal
and milk and beat "like mad." Add baking powder last. If you
do not have the rice use a little more meal. If a little more
rice is preferred, use a little more milk.

One pt. of wheat flour, 1 pt. of corn meal, 2 eggs, 2 tablespoons
of sugar, 2 of melted butter, 1 teaspoon of soda and 2 of
cream tartar. Mix with sweet milk, making it as thick as common
sugar cake. Bake in a quick oven. Very good.

One pt. corn meal, 1 pt. sour milk, 2 eggs, 2 tablespoons
flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon soda (or more). Make batter
thicker than pancakes, and fry small in hot lard (not deep lard)
in spider.

One. egg, 1/2 cup sugar, butter size of an egg, 1 cup sweet
milk, a pinch of salt, 1 cup of corn meal, 1 cup of flour,
3 teaspoonfuls of baking powder. Bake 1/2 hour.
