REMARKS ON MAKING INDIAN BREAD.
It is better in making Indian bread to pour the liquid, either water or milk, boiling hot on the Indian meal. Indian takes more salt than wheat.
TO MAKE MUSH.
Have a pot of boiling water. Stir in gradually corn meal to make it thick. Salt it to your taste: let it boil one hour. When it is cold, slice it and fry it a light brown: send to table hot.
CORN BATTER CAKES.
Pour boiling milk on meal, enough to make a batter; add a little salt and two eggs. The eggs will prevent them breaking when they are turned: send hot to table. If this batter is made thick and baked in a pan, it is called pone.
JOURNEY CAKE.
Mix well some corn meal with water, and a little salt. Have ready the middle board of a flour barrel-head; wet the board, upon which put the dough with a large spoon; smooth it over; bake before the fire; when baked brown, turn the other side. Send hot to table.
LIGHTENED PONE.
Pour either milk or water boiling hot on a pint of corn meal; add salt, and, when it is cool, some yeast and two eggs; when it is light, it will open at top: bake in pans an inch thick.
