Corn-Meal Pudding without Eggs.
- 2 cups Indian meal.
- 1 cup of flour.
- 2 tablespoonfuls of molasses.
- 3 cups of sour milk—“loppered,” or “bonny-clabber,” if you can get it.
- 1 great spoonful of melted butter.
- 1 full teaspoonful of soda.
- 1 teaspoonful of salt.
- ½ teaspoonful of cinnamon.
Sift the salt with the flour, and mix up well with the meal. Make a hole in the middle, and pour in the milk, stirring the meal and flour down into it. Beat smooth. Mix molasses, spice, butter, and the soda—this last dissolved in hot water—all together, and beat into the batter—well and hard. Butter a tin mould with a cover; pour in the pudding, and boil steadily an hour and a half. Eat hot with butter and sugar.
Third Week. Saturday.
