Recipe - Nero Wolfes Corn Cakes

2 cup Yellow corn meal
1 cup Allpurpose flour
1 teaspoon Baking powder
One fourth teaspoon Powdered sage
1 One half teaspoon Salt
4 tablespoon Butter
One fourth cup Minced celery
2 lg Eggs
3 cup Milk

Combine the corn meal, flour, baking powder, sage and salt in a bowl. In a
small skillet melt the butter and saute the celery until soft. Beat the
eggs and add to the corn meal with the celery and butter. Mix well.
Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly until the batter is the
thickness of heavy cream. Heat the griddle, grease it, and pour out the
batter by spoonfuls to make cakes about two inches in diameter. Turn once
so they are nicely browned on both sides. Add more milk to the batter if it
begins to thicken. Serve as a side dish with plenty of butter.
