Indian-And-Wheat Batter Cakes

Use rather less Indian than wheat flour, two eggs, well beaten, some thick or sour milk, with a teaspoonful of soda dissolved in it. Add a little salt. The batter should be thin enough to spread of itself on the griddle. Bake the cakes as soon as the batter is mixed.

Indian Slappers

One pint of Indian meal, one gill of boiling milk, one teaspoonful of butter, salt just to taste, one gill of wheat flour, two eggs, one gill of yeast, and milk sufficient to make a batter. Cut up the butter in the Indian meal, and add the salt, then stir into it the gill of boiling milk. Beat the eggs, and when the meal is cool, add them and the wheat flour to it, with as much milk as will form a batter. Then add the yeast. When the batter is light, grease your griddle, and bake them as buckwheat cakes.

Indian Meal Breakfast Cakes

One quart of Indian meal, two eggs, a teaspoonful of dissolved salaeratus, half an ounce of butter, salt to taste, milk sufficient to make a thick batter. Beat the eggs very thick and light. Cut up the butter in the meal, then pour over it enough boiling water to wet it. When it is cool, add the eggs and salt, pour the dissolved salaeratus into the milk, and add as much milk as will make it into a thick batter. Butter square tin pans, fill them but about two thirds, and bake in a quick oven. When done, cut them into squares and serve hot.

Wheat-And-Indian Bread

Scald two quarts of Indian meal with boiling water. When sufficiently cooled, add a teaspoonful of salt, half a pint of good yeast, and half a teacupful of molasses. Knead into it sufficient wheat flour to form a dough. Set it to rise. Make it into loaves. Let it rise the second time, and bake in a moderate oven.

Indian Bread

To one quart of buttermilk, slightly warmed, put a teaspoonful of soda, dissolved, two eggs, well beaten, a little salt, and a tablespoonful of melted butter. Stir into this as much Indian meal as will make a thick batter, beat it for a few minutes, grease your pans, and bake quickly.

Indian Muffins

One pint and a half of Indian meal, a handful of wheat flour, four ounces of melted butter, a little salt, four eggs, well beaten, one quart of milk. Mix all together, and beat very hard for ten or fifteen minutes. Bake in rings.
