Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. Mix a pint cornmeal with a scant half-cupful sugar, a pinch of salt and a teaspoonful cream tartar.
  2. Dissolve a half-teaspoonful soda in a little milk and stir into the meal, adding milk to make a batter as for pancakes — a cup and a half will be about the quantity.
  3. Add three very thinly sliced sour apples and bake in a moderate oven thirty-five minutes.
