LIGHT BREAD.
From MRS. GOVERNOR JAMES P. EAGLE, of Arkansas, President of State
Board and Lady Manager.
Take one teacup of boiling water; stir in corn meal to make a stiff mush; let stand over night in moderately warm place. Then take one cup of fresh milk and one of warm water and heat together to a simmer and add to this the prepared mush, one tablespoonful of sugar and one teaspoonful of salt. To these ingredients add a little flour at a time, until you make a stiff batter. Place all in a milk- warm vessel of water, place near fire and keep warm until it rises— about six hours. To this yeast add flour to make a stiff dough, using one tablespoon of lard and a little salt. Keep warm till it rises and bake about an hour and a half.
