Recipe Introduction


ca. 1830, Long Island


List of Ingredients




2 bowls Indian meal
1 bowl sweet milk
1 bowl sour milk
4 eggs
2 tea cups wheat flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 table spoon molasses
Saleratus
Butter the size of an egg.


Recipe



Place butter into a small covered Dutch oven and preheat by placing 1 large shovelful of coals underneath and 2 shovelfuls on lid. Preheating takes about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, mix dry ingredients in large bowl. Drop wet ingredients over dry and mix briefly, leaving it lumpy.
Immediately, pour half of the melted butter into the batter and stir briefly, mixing partially. Pour quickly into heated Dutch oven, replace the lid, and resume baking on the hearth as before.
Bake for about 30 minutes, or until sides pull away and center is firm. Serve hot.

Serves 10-12.
