Same as hoe-cakes, only cooked on a rock instead of a hoe. This is something I have to try. Probably best done while wearing buckskins, with a hounddog begging to share your supper, after you have fed, watered and hobbled your horse. This could happen right in our backyard!

This little mill is a Quirn.

I have just the rock in our garden for making cakes. It is a granite cobblestone from the Louisville waterfront. They were torn up in the 1970's when the Interstate was being built. I think a fire built around it would be perfect for cooking.
