Dissolve the baking soda in the tablespoon of water and add

Two cups of hot water.

Beat to mix and then let cool, add

One-half cup of cornmeal,
One-half cup of graham flour.

Beat to thoroughly mix and then pour in well-greased moulds and cover
and steam or boil for one and one-half hours. Remove the cover and
place in a slow oven for twenty minutes to dry out. A one-pound coffee
can makes a splendid mould.
