Risen Corn Bread.
1 pint Indian meal.
2 cups risen sponge, taken from your regular baking of wheat bread.
½ cup molasses, or, what is better, 4 tablespoonfuls white sugar.
1 teaspoonful soda, dissolved in hot water.
1 tablespoonful lard, melted.
1 cup flour, or enough for stiff batter.
Mix well, put to rise in a buttered mould until very light. Bake one hour. It is well to scald the meal and stir in while blood-warm.
