Kentucky Corn Dodgers

Favorite Dinner Bread

Mrs. Simms

Sift the best meal made from the white corn, any quantity desired. Salt to taste. Mix with cold water into stiff dough and form into round, long dodgers with the hands. Take the soft dough and form into shape by rolling between the hands, making the dodgers about 4 or 5 inches long and 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Have a griddle hot, grease a little with lard, and put the dodgers on as you roll them. Put in oven and bake thoroughly, when they will be crisp and a rich brown.

This bread does not rise.

Bread

Mrs. John C. Berryman

1 quart of flour,

1 teaspoon of lard,

1 teaspoon of salt,

1 teaspoon of granulated sugar,

1/2 pint of water.

Put the yeast, lard, salt, and sugar in the flour, then the water. Work till it blisters, which will take from 15 to 20 minutes. Put in a little lard on top and put in a wooden bowl. Let it rise from 5 to 6 hours, then make out into rolls. Let them rise for 1 1/2 hours, then bake in a quick oven.

If for loaves, they will require 2 hours for second rising and a moderate oven for baking.
