Brown Bread

Ingredients

• Two cups of meal
• one of flour (white or Graham may be used)
• one cup of sweet milk
• one of sour
• two tablespoonfuls of molasses
• one teaspoonful of bi-carbonate of soda
• a pinch of salt

Method

1. 1

   This should be well beaten; be sure that there are no lumps of flour left, and that the soda is entirely dissolved.

2. 2

   Put into a two-quart basin, which must first be thoroughly greased.

3. 3

   Steam the bread one hour; then set it in the oven to dry and to brown; any time from fifteen minutes to half an hour will do; this will depend on the state of the oven.
