Pour over four cupfuls corn meal sufficient boiling water to make it very damp. Mix well. Add 1 or 2 eggs beaten light.

2 cupfuls milk.

2 1/2 teaspoonfuls salt.

1 tablespoonful molasses.

1 cupful flour.

1 teaspoonful soda, dissolved.

Mix and beat well. If they break in turning add more flour. Cold Corn Bread crumbs (dried and rolled fine) may be used instead of the meal, in which case use more of them, or put less milk.

What batter is left over, bake at once as Corn Bread, which can be steamed for breakfast next day. For a family of six.
