Corn Batter Cakes

1 pound of white corn meal. 1/2 pound of flour. 3 ounces of melted lard (1/2 cup). 2 eggs. A little salt. 1 quart of milk or water. 1 teaspoonful of baking powder.

Mix gradually to avoid having lumps in the batter, add the lard, melted, and the powder last. If no milk, a spoonful of syrup is required to give color. But sometimes you have to work for thorough philomaizians who love corn for itself alone and do not want any flour in theirs. In that case you must scald the meal.
