War Time Boston Brown Bread

Ingredients

• 1 cup rye meal
• 1 cup corn meal
• 1 cup finely ground oatmeal
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 3/4 teaspoon soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup molasses
• 2 teaspoons baking powder

Instructions

Mix and sift dry ingredients, add molasses and milk, stir until well mixed, turn into a well-greased mold, and steam three and one-half hours. The cover should be greased before being placed on mold. The mold should never be filled more than two-thirds full. A one-pound baking powder box makes the most attractive shaped loaf for steaming; place mold on a trivet in kettle containing boiling water, allowing water to come half-way up around mold; cover closely and steam, adding as needed more boiling water. One cup chopped peanuts and 1 cup of cut dates may be added.
