Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.
  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.

Method

  1. Two coffee cupfuls of graham flour, two of corn meal, and two of buttermilk ;
  2. two tablespoonf uls of butter, two teaspoonfuls of soda, and one of salt.
  3. Grease three one-pound baking powder cans, and put the mixture in them.
  4. Steam two hours, and then put in the oven and bake half an hour.
