One-half cup of barley flour,
One-half cup of rice flour,
One teaspoon of salt,
One-half cup of molasses,
One level teaspoon of soda,
One and one-quarter cups of sour milk.
Beat to mix and then pour into well-greased one-pound empty coffee cans and fill them three-quarters full. Cover and place in a deep saucepan. Fill the saucepan two-thirds full of boiling water. Boil steadily for one and three-quarters hours; then remove the lid from coffee can and place in a warm oven for three-quarters of an hour to dry out.
Next come the fish balls—not the great, round old-fashioned grease-soaked one of commerce, but the daintiest golden brown balls the size of bantam eggs, fried in smoking hot fat and laid on snowy white napkins in piles, with sprigs of parsley stuck between them.
