Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup Carpenter's Johnnycake Meal
- 1 cup boiling water
- 3 to 4 tablespoons milk
- Bacon grease or corn oil, for frying
- Butter, as an accompaniment
Directions
Combine sugar and salt with meal in large mixing bowl. Scald with boiling water and stir well. Thin immediately with milk to a mixture that will drop easily from spoon (additional milk may be necessary: mixture should be consistency of thin mashed potato).
Drop by the spoonful onto medium hot griddle greased with 1 to 2 tablespoons of bacon grease or corn oil (do not let griddle get dry). Cook 5 to 6 minutes on each side until a brown, crunchy crust is formed and inside is soft. Serve hot with butter.

I made this quickly and easily. I think that it tastes a little like corn bread. I though it was a little bland, next time I am going to try adding some more salt and sugar. This will make a good healthy snack, add some butter and honey.
