Johnny Cake
11/4 cup wheat Flour, 1/2 cup Sugar, 2 or 3 Eggs, 1/3 cup Butter or Lard, 1 cup sour Milk or Buttermilk. 2 cups Indian Meal, 1 heaping teaspoonful Salt, 1 heaping teaspoonful The Great "Arm & Hammer" Soda or Saleratus.
Sift together the flour, Indian meal, salt and Soda. Rub the sugar light with the butter or lard, adding the eggs. Add one half the sour milk or buttermilk and then half the flour and meal. Then add the rest of the milk and the flour. Stir up well; batter should be rather soft; pour into a shallow pan, well buttered and flour dusted and bake in a brisk heat, about 25 to 30 minutes.
