Steamed Brown Bread Recipe 1

Instructions

1. One and one-quarter cups of Indian meal, one cup of graham meal and three- quarters cup of rye meal; one teaspoon of soda and one-half teaspoon of salt; three-quarters cup of molasses, two cups sour milk or hot water.
2. Mix and sift dry ingredients, and return siftings to the finer part.
3. (This sifting is to make it lighter, not to take out the coarse grains.) Add molasses, then sour milk or hot water, beat well and pour into an oiled tin with tight cover.
4. Place to steam either in a steamer or in a tightly covered kettle partly filled with boiling water.
5. Steam three or four hours, then dry off in the oven.
