One pint best yellow corn-meal, 1 pint of butter-milk, 2 table-spoonfuls melted butter, 2 eggs and teaspoonful of salt, 1 tea-spoonful saleratus; mix well, and bake at a brisk fire.

Clayton's Corn-Bread

Take 3 cups of good corn-meal - either yellow or white - and 1 cup of flour; add a teaspoonful of baking powder, stirring well together. Next, put into a vessel, 2 eggs, well beaten, 1 tablespoonful of sugar, a little salt, a large tablespoonful of sweet lard or butter, and milk enough to make a thick batter. Let these come to a boiling heat, stirring well at the same time. then pour in the meal, and beat to a stiff consistence. Turn into a baking pan, and bake until thoroughly done, brown on top and bottom. Use hot milk in mixing, as, in my opinion, it takes the raw taste from the corn-meal.
