Remove meat from roaster, leaving some fat in bottom of the pan. Pour mixture into roaster and bake about 20 minutes at 425°. If the roaster is large it will be necessary to double the recipe. This may also be baked in a square shallow cake pan with about 4 tablespoons of fat from the roast put in the bottom of the pan. Tip the pan so the fat will grease the sides too. However, we rec- ommend using the roaster if possible as the drippings from the roast make this dish really toothsome. 32 COOKING WITH WHOLEGRAINS Boston Brown Bread V4 CUP MOLASSES I CUP WHEAT FLOUR 2 TABLESPOONS MELTED SHORTEN- V4 CUP CORN MEAL ING 84 TEASPOON SALT 14% CUPS SOUR MILK OR BUTTER- 1 4% TEASPOONS SODA MILK 16 CUP RAISINS 1 CUP OATMEAL FLOUR Mix together the molasses, shortening and sour milk or butter- milk.

Half a cup of raisins may be added to the dry ingredients if your taste so dictates a richer dish. And the Same (with sweet milk) We believe that the recipe above, using sour milk creates a con- coction of superior merit, particularly for Saturday night with baked beans. We feel it is worthwhile souring the milk especially QUICK BREADS, STEAMED BREADS & DOUGHNUTS 33 for this recipe. But, if you want to make it with sweet milk, here’s how: Follow the above instructions except use 114 cups sweet milk in place of the sour, and reduce soda to % teaspoon and add 2 teaspoons baking powder.
