SWEET BREAD 25 sweet milk or water, and then sift in 1 cup white corn meal with 1 scant teasp baking powder and a little salt. Beat welU and then pour in the melted lard which had been placed in the tin pan in the oven, stir well, and then pour the mixture into the hot pan. Some people like a slice of bacon placed on top of the batter. Bake 15 minutes in a quick oven. Serve with fried fish or chicken. — [Mrs. H. L., Va. Chesterfield Corn Bread This is to the south what fried mush is to the north, but we think it more palatable and hygienic. To 1 cup corn meal add pinch salt and 1 scant teasp baking powder. Mix well, then stir in water enough to make a batter that can be poured out. Have a large pie pan with 1 tablesp lard in the oven getting hot while preparing the batter. Pour the batter into the hot pan, and bake in a quick oven until nicely browned. This can also be baked on top of the stove on a hot, well greased skillet, and turned, to brown both sides evenly. — [Mrs. H. L., Va. Sweet Bread To 1 qt light bread sponge add 2 ozs butter, 4 ozs sugar
