This recipe may be varied in many ways.
(a) Use 1⁄2 cup cooked cereal in place of an equal quantity of flour. Will you change the amount of wetting?
(b) One cup fine white corn meal, or 1⁄2 cup yellow meal in place of equal quantities of flour. Corn meal absorbs more water than white flour.
What change in the wetting?
The oven should be the temperature for bread, and the baking at least 3⁄4 of an hour.
(c) One cup Graham or rye meal in place of an equal quantity of flour.
3. Baking-powder biscuit.
