Spider Corn-Cake

Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 cups sweet milk
• 1 cup of sour milk
• 1 teaspoonful soda
• 1 teaspoonful of salt
• 1 2/3 cups of granulated corn meal
• 1/3 cup flour
• 2 tablespoonfuls of butter

Instructions

Beat eggs and sugar together. Then add one cup sweet milk and the sour milk in which you have dissolved the soda. Add salt. Then mix granulated corn meal and flour with this. Put a spider or skillet on the range and when it is hot melt in the butter. Turn the spider so that the butter can run up on the sides of the pan. Pour in the corn-cake mixture and add one more cup of sweet milk, but do not stir afterwards. Put this in the oven and bake from twenty to thirty-five minutes. When done, there should be a streak of custard through it.
