Batter Cakes of Indian Meal

Make a batter by mixing gradually one quart of boiling water with the same quantity of meal; add a little salt and leave it until nearly cold. Add a little yeast, form into cakes, and prepare in the usual way, that is to say, fried over a clear quick fire. The yolk of an egg is a great improvement to the cakes. Time to fry each cake, five or six minutes. Probable cost, 8d. per pound. Sufficient for six or seven persons.
