Slappers

"Slappers" or "slap-jacks" are the old-fashioned Indian cakes baked on a griddle. To make them, put in a bowl the night before I pint I2I of soft corn-meal, I teaspoonful of salt and I tablespoonful of butter. Pour over just enough boiling water from the kettle to moisten, stirring until every grain of the meal is wet, but not sloppy. Cover closely and let stand near the fire over night. In the morning add 3 wellbeaten eggs, I cupful of sifted flour, 2 scant teaspoonfuls of baking-powder and enough cold milk to mix all to a very thick batter. Put by spoonfuls on a moderately hot greased griddle and when browned turn and brown on the other side. They will take about ten minutes to cook through.
