Cold Water Pone
Make a stiff batter with a quart of Indian meal, cold water and a little
salt; work it well with the hand; grease a pan or oven, and bake it
three-quarters of an hour. Eat it hot at dinner, or with milk at supper.
Indian Bread with Butter-milk.
To one quart of butter-milk, slightly warmed, put a tea-spoonful of
salaeratus, dissolved in water, two eggs, well beaten, a table-spoonful
of melted butter or lard, a little salt; stir in with a spoon as much
Indian meal as will make a thick batter; beat it for a few minutes,
grease your pans, and bake quickly.
If you bake this quantity in two pans, a half hour will be sufficient,
or if in one, it will take an hour. Look at it often while baking, as it
is liable to burn. An excellent recipe.
