You’ll Need:

4 cups corn meal
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons molasses
3 cups buttermilk
2 teaspoons soda
2 eggs

Directions : To prepare this Johnny Cake Recipe, first this rule calls for water milled corn meal. The usual kiln dried meal makes a different quality and the proportions should be 3 cups of meal and 1 of flour. Mix and sift the dry ingredients, add the buttermilk and molasses slowly; add the beaten eggs and beat all together for two minutes with a broad wooden spoon. Bake in two pans for one-half hour in a moderate oven
