Sift and mix together a pint and a half of yellow Indian meal, and
a handful of wheat flour. Melt a quarter of a pound of fresh
butter in a quart of milk. Beat four eggs very light, and stir
into them alternately (a little at a time of each) the milk when
it is quite cold, and the meal; adding a small tea-spoonful of
salt. The whole must be beaten long and hard. Then butter some
muffin rings; set them on a hot griddle, and pour some of the
batter into each.
Send the muffins to table hot, and split them by pulling them open
with your fingers, as a knife will make them heavy. Eat them with
butter, molasses or honey.
