1½ cups of rye flour, 1 cup of corn meal, ½ cup of wheat flour, 2 eggs, 4 tablespoonfuls of molasses, salt to taste, 1 teaspoonful of soda, dissolved in a little hot water, 1½ cups of sour milk. Mix all together, and drop from a dessertspoon into deep, boiling lard. This is enough for eight people. These are delicious.
