Suet Johnny Cake Take one cup beef suet, chopped fine, one heaping cup maple sugar, one and a half cups Indian meal, one and one-half cups flour; mix with the flour one teaspoon baking powder. After mixing the above ingredients, add two tablespoons melted butter and one cup milk; mix thoroughly; pour into baking pan and bake in quick oven.
