Steamed Brown Bread

Ingredients

  • 2 cup corn meal
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon soda
  • 4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 cup molasses
  • 2 cup water

Directions

  1. Mix the dry ingredients together, add the molasses and water.
  2. If dry skim milk is available, mix 1 cup with the dry ingredients.
  3. Beat the mixture thoroughly, and pour into greased molds until they are about 3/4 full.
  4. Cover loosely to keep out the moisture, and steam for 3-1/2 hours.
  5. Remove the covers and bake the bread in a moderate oven for about 10 minutes to dry it off.
  6. If the bread seems likely to crumble, loop a string around the loaf and cut slices by pulling the ends of the string.
