First the original. Such an old-fashioned way to write a recipe. I often substitute buttermilk with a bit of baking soda for the milk.
And, as I have translated it into Pepperplate.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup Indian Water Ground White corn meal
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup boiling water
1/2 cup All Purpose White flour
2 tsp sugar
1 scant teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 tsp baking soda
cold milk
INSTRUCTIONS

- Add flour, sugar, cream of tartar, and baking soda. Mix together with enough cold milk till consistency of cake dough.
- Drop on hot buttered griddle and fry. You will have to test about milk and see how you like them.
- Some people like them 1 inch thick, then cook 5 minutes to side. We like them 1/2 inch thick- about 2 1/2 minutes to a side. Our comes out moist inside but not gooey. Do not cook too quickly quickly or hot. Cakes are about 3 inches in diameter.
