Sift a teaspoonful of salt, one of soda, and two tablespoonfuls of white sugar twice with two cupfuls of Indian meal and one of flour. Stir a great spoonful of melted cottolene into two and a half cupfuls of loppered milk or of buttermilk, and pour this upon the flour and meal. Beat for five minutes hard, put into a well-greased mould with a close top and set in a pot of hot water, taking care that it does not float. Boil steadily for two hours, take off the cover and set in a moderate oven for ten minutes to dry. Turn out and heat until hot. It is very good and wholesome.
