I don't bake, so I can't personally vouch for this...............
Mother's Salt Risen Bread
At noon take 1/2 cup cornmeal and pour over it enough boiling sweet milk
to make batter almost like batter cakes. Put in warm place and let stay
until the next morning. This will be full of bubbles and light. (If not do
not make bread.) Take 1 pint of boiling water and put in earthen ware jar
or pitcher with 1 teaspoon of soda and one of salt. Let cool until about
milk warm so as not to scald the flour. Stir in enough flour to make a
stiff batter and then add the cornmeal in cup . Put in kettle of warm
water
and let rise. Then make up bread with this yeast as any other light bread.
I use 3 tablespoons of sugar, lump of lard, bit more salt and part sweet
milk and part water and enough flour to make several loves. Yeast comes
quick.
