One and one-half cups flour,
Two teaspoonfuls baking powder.

Beat hard to mix and then bake on a hot griddle.


CORNMEAL GRIDDLE CAKES

Scald one cup of cornmeal with two cups of boiling water, and then let
cool. Now add

One and one-half cupfuls water, 80 degrees Fahrenheit,
Three tablespoonfuls of syrup,
One teaspoonful of salt,
One-quarter yeast cake,
Two cupfuls flour,
One-quarter teaspoonful baking soda.

Beat hard and then let rise overnight; then prepare as for buckwheat
cakes.

Modern methods have eliminated the yeast and substituted baking
powder, thus making a quicker mix. To prepare buckwheat cakes with
baking powder, prepare a blend of flour as follows:

Two pounds of buckwheat,
One pound of wheat flour,
One cupful cornmeal,
One ounce of salt,
Three ounces of baking powder,
