Perfect Corn Bread
1 large cup of yellow corn-meal.
1 small cup of flour.
1/2 cup of sugar.
2 eggs.
2 teaspoonfuls of baking-powder.
3 tablespoonfuls of butter.
1 teaspoonful of salt.
Flour to a thin batter.
Mix the sugar and butter and rub to a cream; add the yolks of the eggs, well
beaten, and then half a cup of milk; then put in the baking-powder mixed in
the flour and the salt, and then part of the corn-meal, and a little more
milk; next fold in the beaten whites of the eggs, and if it still is not
like "a thin batter,'' put in a little more milk.
Then bake in a buttered biscuit-tin till brown, cut in squares and serve
hot. This is particularly good eaten with hot maple syrup.
