Twice as much flour as wetting, is a good rule to follow, not to have bread too stiff. For four large loaves: 3 pints of liquid; butter or lard, size of an egg; tablespoon sugar; salt to taste. Cold weather requires more yeast than in warm weather. Bread is better raised slowly and not too warm.
One and one half cupfuls sour milk, one half cupful sour cream, one cupful corn meal, and one cupful white flour, two cupfuls graham flour, one cupful syrup, salt to taste, two teaspoons soda. If sour cream is not obtainable use two cupfuls sour milk and one tablespoonful of butter melted. Steam three hours.
