Drippings for greasing
1 1/2 c  Yellow cornmeal
1 1/2 c  Rye flour
2 ts Baking soda
1 ts Salt
2    Eggs
1 c  Buttermilk
3/4 c  Dark molasses

Arrange 2 racks in oven. On low one place a baking pan and fill with
hot water. Heat oven to 200. Generously grease other pan with
drippings. In large bowl mix well: meal, flour, baking soda and salt.
In small bowl beat eggs; stir in milk, then molasses. Pour liquid
into dry and stir just until moistened. Do not overbeat. Pour batter
into pan and smooth out. Cover with a baking sheet. Place on top rack
directly above water. Bake 12 hours. (It will be ready after 4, but
the old-timers seemed to feel “the longer the better”.)
