Procedures :
To prepare this Johnnycake Recipe 2, first make a sponge of the first three ingredients. Cream together the shortening, sugar, and egg, and add to the sponge after it has become light. Also add the milk, salt, and cornmeal, and beat well together. This should make a thick batter. Spread in an oiled pan in which it will be about three-fourths inch thick (a pan 8 x 12 inches is about the right size). Set in a warm place, and allow it to rise about one-eighth inch, not more, then bake. The sponge for this johnnycake may be set at night, using one-fourth yeast cake.
