Corn Bread

Beat thoroughly two eggs - whites and yolks separately. Mix two heaping cupfuls of Indian meal and one cupful of flour, adding a teaspoonful of melted lard and milk enough to make a thin batter. Put into the flour while yet dry a teaspoonful of soda and two of cream-of-tartar. Put in the eggs last. Beat very briskly. Bake quickly in a buttered mold; a half hour is usually time enough. All kinds of corn bread should be eaten while hot.

In the morning add one cupful buttermilk, a level teaspoonful soda, one egg beaten light, one tablespoonful salt, three-fourths cupful sugar, two tablespoonfuls flour. Add enough meal to make it about as stiff as common corn bread and bake one hour and a quarter in a moderate oven.

Bake well; when done, cut into squares; send hot to table, split and buttered.
