Excellent Corn Bread

1 tablespoonful Butter, pinch Salt, 2 tablespoonfuls Sugar, Yolks two eggs, 34 even teaspoonful The Great "Arm & Hammer" Soda. 1 pt. yellow Cornmeal, 1 pt. Sour Milk or Buttermilk.

Melt the butter and rub together with the sugar and yolks of two eggs, add a pinch of salt. Then mix the yellow corn meal with 3/4 even teaspoonful The Great "Arm & Hammer" Soda; pour it slowly into the above mixture, also add one pint sour milk or buttermilk, but not either of them at the same time; pour in part of the milk, then some of the meal, then more milk and so on. In the meantime you have the two egg whites beaten stiff, and mix carefully, stirring batter as little as possible. Use flour dusted square tins and bake in hot oven. Nothing better.
