Indian Bread Recipe

1 1/2 cups Graham flour 
1 cup Indian meal 
1/2 tablespoon soda 
1 teaspoon salt 
1/2 cup molasses 
1 2/3 cups milk 

Mix and steam same as Boston Brown Bread. 
Mix and sift dry ingredients, add molasses and milk, stir until well mixed, turn into a well-buttered mould, and steam three and one-half hours. The cover should be buttered before being placed on mould, and then tied down with string; otherwise the bread in rising might force off cover. Mould should never be filled more than two-thirds full. A melon-mould or one-pound baking-powder boxes make the most attractive-shaped loaves, but a five-pound lard pail answers the purpose. For steaming, place mould on a trivet in kettle containing boiling water, allowing water to come half-way up around mould, cover closely, and steam, adding, as needed, more boiling water. 

Wow what a recipe great for that authentic taste of Indian foods.
