Boston Brown Bread

Take an equal quantity of corn-flour and rye-meal, a few tablespoonfuls of pumpkin, a little salt and a teaspoonful of bicarbonate of soda, half a cupful of yeast and a similar quantity of molasses, stirring in some warm water until it forms a paste. Have ready two well-buttered iron-pans and pour in this mixture, smooth the top with the hand, and when it has risen, bake in an oven quickly.
