One teaspoonful of salt.
Two tablespoonfuls of molasses.
Sift flour, salt and meal into a bowl. In another mix the milk, molasses and soda. Stir these last to a foam, and pour into the hollow in the middle of the flour. Work down the flour into the liquid with a wooden spoon until you have a batter, and beat hard with upward strokes, two minutes. Bake at once. These are cheap, easy and good cakes.
Hominy Cakes.
Two cups of fine hominy boiled and cold. (Take the tough skin from the top before mixing in the batter.)
One heaping cup of sifted flour.
One quart of milk.
Three eggs beaten very light.
One tablespoonful of molasses.
