  1. Long ago people used only use griddle bread because it was easier and quicker to bake. Some people say griddle bread is nicer than oven bread. When the bread is almost baked it is placed on a stand called a brand. Pan-cakes are (l) made on Shrove-Tuesday. They used make bread from indian meal because it was not as coarse then as it is now. They used make bread of wheat also. They used grinding stones for grinding the grain. The grindstone was called a querin.
