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.
  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.

Method

  1. One quart cornmeal, 1 salt spoon salt, 1 teaspoon sugar;
  2. scald all together with boiling water, leaving it thick enough to mould with hands;
  3. cover and let stand to swell and cool enough to work with ;
  4. now stir in 1 teaspoon butter, and form into oval cakes ;
  5. have a hot griddle well greased, brown on both sides and serve very hot.
  6. These cakes should be nearly an inch thick, and therefore must be baked slowly and turned several times.
