Corn Cakes

Put a pint of meal in a bowl, mix through it a teaspoon of salt and pour over it enough fiercely boiling water just to moisten the mass; cover for five minutes or an hour, as convenient. Beat three eggs separately, add a cup of sweet milk to the yolks and pour over the scalded meal; mix well, add a teaspoon of baking powder or one-fourth of a teaspoon of soda and the beaten whites size of walnut, one teaspoon of soda in the milk, and enough graham flour to thicken like cake. Steam three hours; start over cold water. - Mrs Orville Goren.
