Ingredients
Scale
- 1 qt water
- Cornmeal
- 1 oz butter
- Salt (optional)
Directions
- Put on the water in a pot, and as soon as it boils stir in enough cornmeal to make a very thin batter.
- Beat it frequently while it is boiling for 10 minutes; remove from the heat, pour it in a pan, and add the butter and salt to taste.
- When the batter is lukewarm, stir in enough corn meal to make it quite thick.
- Let rise overnight.
- Pat the dough out into small cakes.
- Butter a baking tin and bake in a moderate oven or butter a cake pan, fill it ¾ full, and bake.
Notes
This recipe did not originally have an oven temperature; 350°F is probably safe.
To prevent lumping, mix some cool water into corn meal first, before adding boiling water. See details at Mixing flours or dry meal with hot liquids.
