1 cup milk
1/2 cup cold boiled rice
2 tablespoons melted shortening

shortening i teaspoon sugar
1/2 cup boiling water
(about)
2 teaspoons baking powder

RECIPE
Sift together the corn
meal and salt, add shortening and pour over this the boiling water and
beat until all lumps disappear. It may be necessary to add more boiling
water, but add only enough to enable you to get a smooth paste. Cool
slightly, add rice, well-beaten; eggs, to which baking powder has been
added just before the last turn of the beater, and the milk. Pour into a
well-greased baking dish and bake at 40o degrees for about forty-five
minutes. After the first fifteen minutes cover the top or the crust will
be too hard.
