Ingredients:

Combine:
1 cup yellow corn meal
1 cup rye flour
1 cup graham flour
2 tsp soda
1 tsp salt

Combine in separate bowl:
2 cups buttermilk
3/4 cups molasses
1 cup chopped raisins

Cooking Instructions:

Add the liquid to dry ingredients

Pour batter into 2 buttered one-quart pudding molds or fill buttered cans about 3/4 full

Butter the lids before closing molds and tie the lids or tape them on, so rising bread does not break the seal

Steam 3 hours in one inch of water if not using a pressure cooker

Otherwise, add 2 cups hot water to pressure cooker

Adjust cover

Steam over low heat for 15 minutes, without pressure, with valve open

Then cook for 30 minutes at 15 lbs pressure

Reduce heat instantly

To cut without crumbling, use a tough string and slice with a sawing motion
