Ingredients
- one cup corn-meal
- two tablespoonfuls sugar
- one teaspoonful salt
- five cups boiling water
- one-quarter cup water to keep a crust from forming
- one-half cups fine yellow corn flour
- one-half cups white flour
- one cup each of corn

- two even teaspoonfuls star crystal baking powder
- one egg well beaten

Directions
One cup corn-meal, two tablespoonfuls sugar, one teaspoonful salt, one even tablespoonful butter, five cups boiling water. At night mix the meal, salt, sugar, in top of double boiler; add the boiling water and butter and cook one hour. Turn into a mixing bowl and pour over it one-quarter cup water to keep a crust from forming. In the morning beat it up soft and smooth, mix one and one-half cups fine yellow corn flour, one and one-half cups white flour, two even teaspoonfuls Star Crystal Baking Powder and stir into the mixture. Add one egg well beaten, bake in iron gem pans in a hot oven; or, in the morning add one cup each of corn, rye and wheat flour; or, one and one-half corn, one graham, one-half cup wheat flour. These are good enough to pay for the extra trouble of cooking the evening before using. This rule makes fifteen muffins. Boston Cook Book.
