Egg Bread

From My Best 250 Recipes by Sarah Tyson Rorer, 1907. Section 110 of 124.

Add one level teaspoonful of bicarbonate of soda to one pint of thick, sour milk or buttermilk; add half a teaspoonful of salt and two eggs well beaten; stir in hastily one cupful and a half of Southern cornmeal; turn at once in a shallow greased pan and bake from thirty to forty minutes in a quick oven. Serve hot.

Wafer Bread To Serve With Salads

Dissolve half a teaspoonful of bicarbonate of soda in half a cupful of warm water; add sufficient warm water, about one cupful, to moisten a quart of whole wheat flour. The dough must be rather hard. Knead it continuously for fifteen minutes, then pound it with a potato-masher for from five to ten minutes, or put it through a biscuit brake. Roll the dough in a very thin sheet, cut in squares of two inches, prick with a fork, and bake in a moderately quick oven until crisp and brown. Half a pint of peanut or pine-nut butter may be rubbed in the flour before adding the water.
