Indian Meal Johnny Cakes

Make into a firm dough one quart of Indian meal, using as much warm water as may be required, and a little salt. Scoop out some of the meal from the centre, pour in the water, and mix in the usual way. Knead the dough, and roll it to about an inch in thickness. Lay the cake on a well-buttered griddle over a clear brisk fire, and toast it on both sides. When done, serve at once, split and buttered. This is a favourite American cake, eaten with fried bacon.
