Corn Bread

Ingredients

• 2 cups of sifted meal
• 1/2 cup of flour
• 2 cups of sour milk
• 2 well-beaten eggs
• 1/2 cup of molasses or sugar
• 1 teaspoonful of salt
• 2 tablespoonfuls of melted butter

Instructions

Mix the meal and flour smoothly and gradually with the milk, then the butter, molasses and salt, then the beaten eggs, and lastly dissolve a level teaspoonful of baking soda in a little milk and beat thoroughly altogether. Bake nearly an hour in well-buttered tins, not very shallow. This recipe can be made with sweet milk by using baking powder in place of soda.
