Ingredients

  • one-fourth cup sugar together
  • one cup sweet milk
  • one teaspoonful soda
  • two-thirds cups of granulated corn meal
  • two tablespoonfuls of butter
  • a teaspoonful of salt
  • two eggs
  • one cup of sour milk in which you have dissolved one teaspoonful soda
  • one-third cup flour
  • salt

Directions

1

Beat two eggs and one-fourth cup sugar together. Then add one cup sweet milk and one cup of sour milk in which you have dissolved one teaspoonful soda. Add a teaspoonful of salt. Then mix one and two-thirds cups of granulated corn meal and one-third cup flour with this. Put a spider or skillet on the range and when it is hot melt in two tablespoonfuls of butter. Turn the spider so that the butter can run up on the sides of the pan. Pour in the corn-cake mixture and add one more cup of sweet milk, but do not stir afterwards. Put this in the oven and bake from twenty to thirty-five minutes. When done, there should be a streak of custard through it.
