CWDD: Griddle Cakes

[Jeremy Bevard]

In this week’s episode, we jump into civilian Civil War era cooking! We will show you how to make griddle cakes from Beadle’s Dime Cookbook published in 1863. These griddle cakes would make a great side dish for supper or as a breakfast item. The ingredients are simple: buttermilk, egg, flour, salt, and baking soda.
