Mexican Tortillas

Mix a quart of white corn meal with boiling water enough to barely wet it, and cold water after that to make it like thin mush. Add a teaspoonful of salt. Drop large spoonfuls on the hot griddle, and spread them out to form thin cakes. "But," you say, "your toritllas are nothing but the Southern hoe cakes." Yes, that's what they are. But many people like hoe cakes better if they are shortened a little.
