making corn light bread suppose I
have had as many ovensful in days past
and gone as anybody, but 1 never made
any myself. from start to finish. The
cooks did IL.
1t is easy to get sour bread in mid
summer and do not like sour bread
mr.
your good receipts and al publish
them for the benefit of all of us.
I can make good wheat light bread
the old-fashioned sort-the sort that is
good as long as it lasts.
/ begin in the morning as soon as
can get the fresh mornings milk. I
scald pint put in a little salt-and
then stir in a little sifted corn meal,
the balance flour. I stir in until I have
stiff batter.
Then / set the vessel-a gallon pitch
er or tin bucket, in the hor sun to rise.
1t will come on about IL o'clock if the
floor is good and you started early.
then make up the bread (sometimes
add a little sugar to the yeast), and
make out into little biscuit 1t will
soon rise again. and If / have time,
work over again and rise again. If not,
l put the pan in the stove with gentle
heat until the pan is plumb full; then
/ increase the fire and brown quickly

full of nice sweet lard. L 40 not like
bread that has no shortening in it.
1t gets as dry and tasteless as saw
dust to me.
Corn light bread is fine for picnics
where you have fried fish. / am very
fond of corn bread anyhow. and con-
sidering I was accustomed to it all nv
life. take no stock in the report that
corn bread causes pellagra.
1 think corn bread is much healthier
than bread made with flour and soda,
that has alum in 1t. never did en-
joy vegetables without some corn bread
70 eat with them.
