Rice Journey, or Johnny Cake

Ingredients

• 1 pint of rice
• 1 tea-spoonful of salt
• 1 large spoonful of butter
• 1 pint of rice flour
• 1/2 pint of milk

Instructions

Boil the rice quite soft, with the salt; mix with it while hot the butter, and spread it on a dish to cool; when perfectly cold, add the rice flour and milk; beat them all together till well mingled. Take the middle part of the head of a barrel, make it quite clean, wet it, and put on the mixture about an inch thick, smooth with a spoon, and baste it with a little milk; set the board aslant before clear coals; when sufficiently baked, slip a thread under the cake and turn it: baste and bake that side in a similar manner, split it, and butter while hot. Small homony boiled and mixed with rice flour, is better than all rice; and if baked very thin, and afterwards toasted and buttered, it is nearly as good as cassada bread.
