Perfect Corn Bread

Perfect Corn Bread

Ingredients:
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.

Directions:
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.
Popovers
Put the muffin−tins or iron gem−pans in the oven to get very hot, while you mix these popovers.
