1719 — Daniel Defoe. Robinson Crusoe.
And yet here I was perplexed again, for I neither knew how to grind or make meal of my corn, or indeed how to clean it and part it; nor, if made into meal, how to make bread of it; and if how to make it, yet I knew not how to bake it.

Then I wanted a mill to grind it, sieves to dress it, yeast and salt to make it into bread, and an oven to bake it; but all these things I did without, as shall be observed; and yet the corn was an inestimable comfort and advantage to me too.

These I burned in the fire, as I had done the other, and laid them by; and when I wanted to bake, I made a great fire upon my hearth, which I had paved with some square tiles of my own baking and burning also; but I should not call them square.

Mummy tried her best to show me how to proportion the ingredients and how to knead everything, but I couldn't ever figure out how she could measure the flour by the handfuls, the baking powder with her three fingers, the salt with two, and exactly how much Crisco to add. [...] Whether I was making roast bake or fry bake they tended to come out hard or underdone or burn up. [...] She would ting up the flour, flough flough and she done. We eating bakes and the whole house filled up with the warmth of them.
2015, Sylvester Carrington, It's Your Word Against Mine: How Words Express the Cultural Traditions:
What is [...] misleading about bakes is the fact that they are not even prepared by the baking process. They are [...] deep fried. [...] Bakes are not pancakes. They may strike a slight resemblance to miniature pancakes [...and] the ingredients may be almost similar [... but they are] greasy.
