JOHNNY CAKE:
Marion Harland.
Take 1 cup sweet milk, 1 cup buttermilk, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon soda, 1 tablespoon melted butter, and enough corn meal to enable you to roll the dough into a sheet half an inch thick. Spread on a buttered tin or in a shallow pan, and bake 40 minutes. As soon as it begins to brown, baste it with a rag tied to a stick and dipped in melted butter. Repeat 5 or 6 times till brown and crisp. Break, not cut it up, and serve with buttermilk. It may be baked on a board before a hot fire.
