Indian Mush Cakes

Ingredients

• 3 pints of cold water
• 1 quart of sifted Indian meal
• 1/2 pint of wheat flour
• 1 small tea-spoonful of salt

Instructions

Pour into a pan the cold water, and stir gradually into it the Indian meal which has been mixed with the wheat flour and salt. Give it a hard stirring at the last. Have ready a hot griddle, and bake the batter immediately, in cakes about the size of a saucer. Send them to table piled evenly, but not cut. Eat them with butter or molasses.

This is the most economical and expeditious way of making soft Indian cakes; but it cannot be recommended as the best. It will be some improvement to mix the meal with milk rather than water.
