Sour-milk Cakes.
One quart of “loppered,” or of buttermilk.
Three cups of sifted flour.
One cup of Indian meal.
One “rounded” teaspoonful of soda free from lumps.
One teaspoonful of salt.
Two tablespoonfuls of molasses.
Sift flour, salt and meal into a bowl. In another mix the milk, molasses and soda. Stir these last to a foam, and pour into the hollow in the middle of the flour. Work down the flour into the liquid with a wooden spoon until you have a batter, and beat hard with upward strokes, two minutes. Bake at once. These are cheap, easy and good cakes.
