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.


Popovers

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