1 cup all purpose flour
2 cups graham flour
2 cups corn meal
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup molasses
3½ cups of sour milk

NOTE: This recipe is for sour milk. If regular milk is used, use baking powder in place of baking soda.


Preparation:

• Mix all purpose flour, graham flour, corn meal, and salt together.
  
• Mix molasses with 3 cups of sour milk and add to the dry mixture.
  
• Disolve baking soda in 1/2 cup of sour milk, add to the mixture and beat well.

TIP: This steamed bread is improved by setting it into the oven fifteen minutes after it is slipped from the mold. Most excellent when is served warm with butter.
