Indian Griddle Cakes

1 quart of sour milk. 1 large tablespoonful of butter, melted after measuring. 2 eggs. 1 teaspoonful of soda. Half a teaspoonful of salt. Make a thin batter, with two-thirds Indian meal, and one-third flour. A small bag made of coarse but thin linen or cotton, and filled with common salt, is much better to rub over the griddle than lard, when cakes are to be fried or baked.
