The above proportions will make enough batter cakes for two or three
persons.--_Mrs. S. T._
_Another Recipe for the Same._
1 quart sweet milk.
1 heaping pint corn meal.
4 eggs.
1 teaspoonful of salt.
Half teaspoonful of soda.
1 tablespoonful of warmed butter or fresh lard.
Break the eggs, whites and yolks together, beat slightly, then add the
milk, stir in the meal and beat until it looks light. Bake on a
griddle.--_Mrs. J. P._

1 pint of sour milk.

INDIAN GRIDDLE CAKES.
1 quart of sour milk.
1 large tablespoonful of butter, melted after measuring.
2 eggs.
1 teaspoonful of soda.
Half a teaspoonful of salt.
Make a thin batter, with two-thirds Indian meal, and one-third flour.
A small bag made of coarse but thin linen or cotton, and filled with
common salt, is much better to rub over the griddle than lard, when
cakes are to be fried or baked.
BATTER BREAD.
Break two eggs into a bowl. Beat to a stiff froth. Pour in one teacup
of clabber or butter-milk, one of water, one of corn meal, one of
flour, half teaspoonful of salt, a heaping teaspoonful of butter
melted. Beat all well together. Have already heated on the stove or
range, iron-clad muffin moulds (eight or ten in a group). Grease them
well with a clean rag, dipped in lard. Fill each one nearly full with
the batter, first sifting in half a teaspoonful soda. Set in a hot
oven and bake a nice brown. Oblong shapes are the nicest. If
preferred, sweet milk may be used instead of sour milk and water. In
this case add another egg and dispense with the soda.--_Mrs. S. T._

Four cups of meal, two cups sweet milk, four eggs, two tablespoonfuls
flour, one tablespoonful lard, one teaspoonful salt, half teaspoonful
