Brown Bread
Ingredients
- 1 even cup of Indian meal
- 2 heaping cups of rye flour
- 1 even teaspoonful of salt
- 1 even teaspoonful of soda
- 1 pint of hot water
- 1 cup of molasses
Instructions
Sift together into a deep bowl Indian meal, rye flour, salt, and soda. To hot water add molasses, and stir till well mixed. Make a hole in the middle of the meal, and stir in the molasses and water, beating all till smooth. Butter a tin pudding-boiler, or a three-pint tin pail, and put in the mixture, setting the boiler into a kettle or saucepan of boiling water. Boil steadily for four hours, keeping the water always at the same level. At the end of that time, take out the boiler, and set in the oven for fifteen minutes to dry and form a crust. Turn out, and serve hot.
Milk may be used instead of water, or the same mixture raised over-night with half a cup of yeast, and then steamed.
