The Real Rhode Island Journey
Cakes"
Mrs. u. H. NOttaEe, 4SOs Cherry street,
Oakland


1t is said that only in the state oe
Rhode Island, where the old stone mill
still grinds the white corn meal. can
these cakes be made as in the days ot
the early settlers, when they learned
from the Narragansett Indians how to
make them for a journey. Yet some
think the southern white meal. rich In
oil. has a flavor even better The yellow
meal is not TO be compared with the
other for fried jOhnnycake.
Two cups white corn meal Pour on
boiling water, stirring until II - thor
oughly scalded. When cool add half q
cup milk-cream Is still better-a pinch
of salt, one tablespoonful sugar-maplo
sugar IL you have tt-and enough Hour
to make a gtiR batter. A we'll beaten
egg is an addition, but not essential.
Drop by spoonfuls into hot bacon fat a
quarter inch deep and fry brown both
sides. II you choose you may try q tea
spoonful baking powder, but try the
other first and you viii have the real
thing, as I learned how TO make IL from
Peter Nokan, one of the last OF ths
NarraganSettS.

A Few Hints to the Cook
Anna Kustel. Room Is. the KenilwOrth,
Bush and Powell Streets, City

Bush and Powell Streets, City
Making SOup-In making soup ths
meat should be cut into small pieces
and put into cold water and the water
allowed TO warm gradually. In this way
the richest juices OF the meat are with
drawn. and therefore the soup Is better.
Boiling Meat-If one wishes to cook
the meat itself boiling water should be
poured over It to harden the outer layer
and prevent the extraction OF the juices.
FryinE-When frying, the fat or but
ter which Is to be used ought to be
boiling hot. II the fat IS just warm and
whatever is TO be cooked Is put into It
the substance viii be soaked with fat
ana therefore not very good to eat.
When the meat is dropped into the hot
fat 1t hardens the outer layer and pre-
vents IL from soaking, which Is the only
way and the best
