OLD FASHIONED JOHNNY CAKES

1 egg
2 c. white or yellow cornmeal
1 tsp. salt
1 1/4 to 1 1/2 c. milk

Beat 1 egg. Stir in 2 cups white or yellow corn meal, 1 teaspoon salt, 
1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups milk (to make batter thick). 

Drop spoonfuls of batter onto a well-greased hot griddle and fry to a golden 
brown on each side. Stir batter occasionally to keep well mixed. Serve hot with 
butter.

(I like it with syrup too.  Use corn syrup and it reminds me of Grandpa Metcalf
and his corn meal mush.)
