NORTHERN JOHNNY CAKE 2 cups corn-meal i>^ teaspoons salt 2 cups sour milk 2 eggs 2 tablespoons fat i teaspoon soda 2 tablespoons sugar, white or i tablespoon cold water brown Cook together the meal, milk, fat, sugar and salt in a double boiler for about twenty minutes. Allow the mixture to cool, then add the well-beaten eggs and the soda dissolved in the water. Bake in a shallow iron or granite pan for about thirty minutes at 400° F. In case there is not time to cook and cool the meal, the fol- lowing method of mixing may be used. Mix and sift together the meal, sugar, salt and soda, add the sour milk gradually, then the well-beaten eggs and the melted fat. Bread made by this method does not have as good texture as that made by the first method.

Knead lightly until smooth and elastic. Work down and when light again roll out with rolling-pin to about one-fourth inch in thick- ness. Cut in circles. When light, bake on ungreased hot griddle. As soon as they are brown on one side, turn them over. When both sides are browned, bake more slowly until finished. They may be browned on the griddle and then may be put into the oven to finish baking. A modification of this recipe may be made by adding enough flour to make a drop batter. Let it rise until light. Drop batter into large, greased EngHsh muffin rings, arranged on a greased baking-sheet. Bake in a hot oven until nearly done. Turn rings upside down and complete baking at 4oo°-45o° F.).
