Corn Bread .- The south has long been cele
brated for its grateful corn breed, cakes, matins.
and hosnminy. In consequence elan invitation
in the Cultivator. a young lady in Tenneasee,
has kindly sent us the following directions for
making these domestic delicacies of the table for
which we respectfully tender her our . acknowl
ments.—Culfirator.
Plain Corn Bread.—Six pints meal. one ta
ble spoonful salt. four pints of water; thorough
ly wised with the hand. and baked in oblong
rolls about two inches thick. Use a; much dough
for each roll is can be couveniendy shaped in
the band. Many persons use hot water in win
ter ; it is certainly best. The bread is better to
be made half an hour or more before it is biked.
The oven must be tolerably hot when the dough
is put in. All kinds of cornbread require a hot
ter oven. and to be baked quicker than flour.
Lied Corn Bread.—Stir four pints of meal
into three pints tepid water; add one large tea
spoonful salt ; let it rise five or ail hours; then
stir up with the hand, and bake in a brisk oven.
Another method is to take mush, and before it
grows cold stir in a pint of meal. 'Let it rise
and bake as the fitst.
Corn Cakes.—Six eggs well beaten. one pint
milk. one tea spoonful salt. two pints of mush.
alMost cold, two pints meal, and three table
spoonful melted lard. Grease the oven and put
one large spoonful of batter in each cake. Do
not let them touch in baking.
Corn .11iOns.--Marle in the same way as
corn cakes ; grease the muffin hoops and heat
the oven slightly. before putting in either corn
cakes or muffins. A better muffin is made by
substituting two pints of flour instead of meal.
Best Butter Cakes, or mush Cakes:— Beat
the yolks of eggs very light. add one pint of
milk. two pints of mush almost cold, one and a
half pints flour, one tea spoonful of milt. three
table spoonfuls melted butter. To be well beat.
en together. Just before frying them. whip the
whiles to a strong froth. and stir it lightly into a
inner. For frying all kinds of batter cakes, use
no more lard than is necessary to make them
turn well.
Mtish.—Put two pints of water into a pot to
boil ; then take one pint cold water and mix
smoothly into one pint meaL When the wa
ter in the pot boils. emit this well , into it. and let
it boil 10 or 15 minutes. or until it looks elear.
Cannton Batter Cakes.—Six eggs well beat
en. two and a hal4pints of milk. one tea spoon
ful salt ; stir in three pints 'of inn!, that has
been thrice sifted through s common sifter.
Keep the batter well stirred while frFing. other
vote the meal will settle at the bottom.
Beating Honuniny.—Smak the homminy
corn tea minutes in boding water: then take the
earn up and pot it into the houiroiny mortar.
and beat it until the husks are all separated from
the corn. Once or twice while beating it. take
it'out of the mortar. and fin it that is. throw
up on a tray nr bowl so as to allow the husks to
fly re. When sufficiently beaten. fan it until
all the husks are out.
Preperir. ifessminy for the Tab
mist be thoroughlv washed in cold water. rub
bing it well with the hands ; then washed in the
same way in warm watet. changing the water
'event times. Put it into a large pnt of cold
water. and boil steadily eightor ten hours, keep
ing it el sely entered. Add hot water frequent
ly white boiling. otherwise the homminy will
burn and be dark colored. When houuniny
beans are ased one pint to apnea of homminy.

it is pat on the first thing in the morning. act!
kept briskly , bulling. it will be ready for dinner
at two &clerk. Sermon with barter and send it
to the table hot.
But the usual mode is to boil bonsteinv tutee
a week. and pot it into a wooden or skim Ves
sel. and set it ins cool place to peseta its he
mming musty. When wanted forme, take the
quantity necessary for breakfast archaism and
hiving pus a small quantity of lard into an oven.
let it become hot. put in the houstniity and mash
it well. adding some salt ; when well heated it
is ready foe the table. Some persons allow it
to hake at the bottom, and turn the east over the
botnininy when put on the dish. Be careful to
have no smoke alder the pot while Wiling, or
when frying it for the table. Few things. re
quite more care or nicety in their preparation
than hoututiny.
