Boston Brown Bread

Ingredients

• 1/2 pound of rye flour
• 1/2 pound of wheat flour
• 1 pound of corn meal
• 1 heaping teaspoonful of salt
• 1 heaping tablespoonful of brown sugar
• 1 heaping tablespoonful of wheat baking powder
• 2 medium-sized potatoes

Instructions

Sift together the rye and wheat flour, corn meal, salt, brown sugar, and wheat baking powder. Wash, peel, and boil the potatoes; rub them through a sieve; thin out the potato with nearly a pint of water, and use this to make the batter. Pour it into well-greased moulds having covers; set them into hot water to within two inches of the top of the moulds, and boil for two hours; then take them out of the water, remove the cover, and place them in the oven for twenty minutes.

A Boston brown bread preparation put up by the Boston Cereal Manufacturing Company is an article of food quite recently introduced, which saves much of the difficult details necessary to make this excellent New England loaf.
