Corn-Meal Pudding Without Eggs. Maltese Cross
2 cups Indian meal.
1 cup flour.
2 table-spoonfuls sugar (or molasses).
3 cups sour milk—if thick, all the better.
1 great spoonful melted butter.
1 teaspoonful—a full one—of soda.
1 teaspoonful of salt.
½ teaspoonful cinnamon.
Put meal and flour together in a bowl, and mix them up well with the salt. Make a hole in the middle, and pour in the milk, stirring the meal, etc., down into it from the sides gradually. Beat until free from lumps. Put in butter, spice and sugar—the soda, dissolved in hot water, at the last. Beat up well for five minutes. Butter a tin mould with a cover; pour in the batter and boil steadily for an hour and a half.
Eat hot with sweet sauce.
