Take one quart of nice, soft meal to which add salt and one teaspoon soda. Pour on just enough boiling water to thoroughly scald, but not to make sloppy, add one teacupful good molasses, let it cool until it will not scald the yeast, then add one-half cup lively, soft yeast, stir in graham flour until the batter is very stiff, put in a tin, set in warm place to rise. Steam two hours and bake in moderate oven one hour. More or less molasses may be used according to taste.
