1 1/4 quarts corn meal 1/2 quart cold water 4 quarts boiling water 8 eggs or more

1 1/2 quarts barley flour

3 tablespoons salt

2 quarts grated cheese

4 teaspoons baking powder

Use more flour if needed; the amount depends upon thickness of mush and number of eggs. The oysters should be about the consistency of Corn Oysters. Mixmeal and cold water, add boiling water, and cook in double boiler one or more hours. Left-over mush may be used. Add cheese; cool. Add beaten eggs, and flour which has been sifted with salt and baking powder. Drop by spoonfuls on hot griddle which has been brushed generously with bacon fat or other drippings. Brown both sides. Serve in place of bread.
