Johnny-cake. To make two pans of this old-fashioned corn cake, take two cupfuls of sour milk, half a cupful of sour cream, one cupful of sifted flour, two of Indian meal, a generous teaspoonful of soda, half a teaspoonful of salt, an egg, two table-spoonfuls of molasses or — if molasses be not liked — two of sugar

Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
