[font "Arial"]1 cup corn meal
1 tablespoon vegetable fat
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons sugar
1 cup boiling water
Cold milk or canned milk
Mix all the dry ingredients, add the fat, pour on the boiling water all at once, and stir smooth. Add just enough cold milk or canned milk to make the batter of a consistency barely to drop from a spoon, but not to run. Drop from the side of a large spoon, into an oiled baking pan, in oblong shapes, and bake in a quick oven.
NOTE - If desired, water may be used instead of milk, a little more of the fat being added; but the dodgers will not then brown so readily as when milk is added at the last. If ground whole corn meal is used, less shortening and sugar are needed than for the ordinary degerminated commercial corn meal.
Corn Cake
Take the above corn mixture and spread it 1/4 inch deep in an oiled baking pan, and bake in a hot oven. [/font]
