Ash Cake
Is mixed as above [referring to the recipe for Corn-Meal Pone: Please see the link below]. A clean spot is swept upon the hot hearth, the bread put down and covered with hot wood ashes. It must be washed and wiped dry before it is eaten. A neater way is to lay a cabbage leaf above and below the pone. The bread is thus steamed before it is baked, and is made ready for eating by stripping off the leaves.
