water till very soft. Then drain off the water, mash the bread fine--to
three pints of the bread pulp put a couple of beaten eggs, three or four
table-spoonsful of flour, and a little salt--dissolve a tea-spoonful of
saleratus to a tea-cup of milk, strain it, then stir it into the
bread--add more milk till it is of the right consistency to fry. The
batter should be rather thicker than that of buckwheat cakes, and cooked
in the same manner. Another way of making them, which is very good, is
to mix half a pint of wheat flour with enough cold milk or water to
render it a thick batter, and a couple of table-spoonsful of yeast. When
light, mix the batter with the bread, (which should be previously soaked
soft, and mashed fine,) add salt, and a tea-spoonful of saleratus,
dissolved in a little milk. Fry them in just fat enough to prevent their
sticking to the frying pan.

158. _Green Corn Cake._

Mix a pint of grated green corn with three table-spoonsful of milk, a
tea-cup of flour, half a tea-cup of melted butter, one egg, a
tea-spoonful of salt, and half a tea-spoonful of pepper. Drop this
mixture into hot butter by the spoonful, let the cakes fry eight or ten
minutes. These cakes are nice served up with meat for dinner.

159. _Indian Corn Cake._

Stir into a quart of sour or butter-milk a couple of tea-spoonsful of
saleratus, a little salt, and sifted Indian meal to render it a thick
batter--a little cream improves the cake--bake it in deep cake pans
about an hour. When sour milk cannot be procured, boil sweet milk, and
turn it on to the Indian meal--when cool, put in three beaten eggs to a
quart of the meal--add salt to the taste.

160. _Indian Slap Jacks._

Scald a quart of Indian meal--when lukewarm, turn, stir in half a pint
of flour, half a tea-cup of yeast, and a little salt. When light, fry
them in just fat enough to prevent their sticking to the frying pan.
Another method of making them, which is very nice, is to turn boiling
milk or water on to the Indian meal, in the proportion of a quart of the
former to a pint of the latter--stir in three table-spoonsful of flour,
three eggs well beaten, and a couple of tea-spoonsful of salt.

161. _Journey or Johnny Cakes._

Scald a quart of sifted Indian meal with sufficient water to make it a
very thick batter. Stir in two or three tea-spoonsful of salt--mould it
with the hand into small cakes. In order to mould them up, it will be
necessary to rub a good dea
