Corn Bread

Ingredients

• 2 cups of corn meal
• 1 cup of flour
• 1 teaspoonful of soda
• 1 teaspoonful of salt
• 1 heaping tablespoonful of butter
• 1 teacup full of sugar
• 3 eggs
• 2 cups of sour milk, the more creamy the better

Instructions

If sweet milk is used, substitute baking powder for soda.

Sift meal, flour, soda, and salt together; beat the yolks of the eggs with the sugar; add the milk, and stir into the meal; melt the butter, and stir in, beating hard for five minutes. Beat the whites stiff, and stir in, and bake at once either in one large, round loaf, or in tin pie-plates. The loaf will need half an hour or a little more; the pie-plates, not over twenty minutes.

This can be baked as muffins, or, by adding another cup of milk, becomes a pancake mixture.
