Spider Corn Cake

When one possesses an old-fashioned, heavy iron frying-pan or spider it will be found just the thing for a spider corn cake. To make this breakfast bread mix together 3/4 of a cupful of fine white corn-meal, 2 tablespoonfuls of flour, 1/2 teaspoonful of salt, 1/3 of a teaspoonful of sifted baking-soda and I tablespoonful of sugar. Beat I egg, add to it I cupful of sour milk and 1/2 of a cupful of sweet milk. Stir this into the dry mixture and beat well. Have a tablespoonful of butter melted and warm in the spider; turn the pan round that bottom and sides may be thoroughly greased, then pour the remainder into the batter and beat again. Pour the batter into the hot pan and shake to level it, then very gently pour over the top another ½ cupful of sweet milk. Do not attempt to stir it in but place quickly in a hot oven and bake for about twenty minutes.
