New England Hasty Pudding, or Stir-About
Boil three quarts of water in an iron pot; mix a pint of Indian meal in
cold water, and make it thin enough to pour easily; when the water
boils, pour it in; stir well with a wooden stick kept for the purpose;
it takes about an hour to boil; salt to your taste; stir in dry meal to
make it thick enough, beating it all the time. Eat it with milk or
molasses, or butter and sugar. This is said to be a wholesome diet for
dyspeptic patients, and makes a good meal for children.
Corn Muffins.
Warm three pints of milk, and stir into it as much corn meal as will
make it as thick as pudding batter, add two handsful of wheat flour,
two tea-spoonsful of salt, three eggs, and a tea-cup of yeast. Beat the
whole well together, and let it rise about six hours, when bake as
other muffins.
