CORN BREAD.
Ry Mrs. Barbara Sadlcr.

When mixing bread for a family of
hearty caters do not dcspisc corn bread.
IL is nutritious, tasty and strength giving.
and at the same time very pleasing to the
taste of those who are engaged in outdoor
pursuits. Corn bread does not need to he
a heavy. indigestible mass, but should on
the contrary be light and every way to be
desired.
\ good old parson furnished me- the fol-
lowing recipe for a corn cake that | hope
all the readers of his column Will give n
trial one Cupful of corn meal. one cupful
of flour, one-half of a cupful of sugar. ono
Cupful of sour cream or one Cupful of milk,
two tahlespoonfuls of melted butter. one
tablespoonful of baking powder, two eggs,
ono tcjtspoonful Of salt. onc-half OF a tea
spoonful Of soda. Mix together the meal.
-four and salt. If sour cream is used dis
solve the soda in one teaspoonful of hot
water and stir it into the cream; If sweet
milk is used mix the baking powder with
the dry ingredients and melt the butter.
70 the dry ingredients add the prepared
cream or milk, then the beaten eggs ana
turn at once into a well creased pan. Bake
twenty minutes in a quick oven.
To make a light corn cake: Mix together
six tahlespoonfuls of flour, one tablespoon
full Of sugar. one and one-half cupfuls of
Ct IN meal and one teaspoonful (scant
measure) of salt. Beat to a froth two eggs;
add one scant pint of milk and stir into
the dry ingredients. Beat for a moment
add two scant tablespoonfuls of baking
powder, turn into a well creased pan and
bake for about a half hour in a quick oven.
Another nice way to make corn bread;
Beat four egrs thoroughly, add TO them
two cupfuls of corn meal, one tablespoon
full of melted butter. one t~easpoontul oil
salt and one teaspoonful OF sugar; wnen
well mixed add one quart of milk, warm
from fresh scalding. Pour into a buttered
pan and put at once into the oven. rms
natter will seem very thin but do not add
more meal as the eggs will stiffen 1t sufiici-
entity.
The old hoccake which the colored
cooks of the South made famous ana
which they literally baked on their hoes
before wood fires, is made in this fash
ion: Put two cupfuls of corn meal into
Il bow and pour over it enough boiling
water to moisten. Cover and let stand
for fifteen minutes then add one-haif
tcaspoonful of salt and sufficient water
to make a batter that will pour from
the spoon. Bake on griddles and serN'
Immediately with a piece of butter on
each cake, but do not pile them.
