2 c Sifted corn meal
— Water, cold, to mix 1/2 ts Salt
Mix meal with water sufficient to handle. Let stand a few minutes to see if more water is needed to spread. Have a heavy griddle greased and hot, pour on the mixture and pat out into a round cake, having about one-half inch thick; reduce fire and let brown, turn and brown other side. Cook altogether about thirty minutes. Serve hot with butter. Mrs. S. R. Dull, 1928
