Salt Rising Bread.
Make a starter by mixing the folloeing ingredients:
1 cup milk.
1 tablespoon sugar.
7 tablespoons white or water ground cornmeal.
1 teaspoon salt.
Scald the milk and stir in the sugar, cornmeal, and salt.
Place this in a large covered jar and set in water as hot as the hand can stand.
Allow to stand for 6 or 7 hours in a warm place (115 degreesF.) untill it shows fermentation.
The gas can be heard to escape when it has sufficiently fermented.
To this mixture add:
2 cups lukewarm water.
2 tablespoons of sugar.
2 tablespoons of fat.
2 cups of flour.
Beat this sponge thoroughly, put the jar into a water bath at 115 degrees F, to maintain an even temperature, and let rise until this sponge is very light and full of bubbles. To this sponge add 8 1/2 cups of flour, which will give it a stiff dough.
Knead for 10 minutes.
Cut and mold into loaves.
Place in a greased pan and allow to rise two and 1/2 times the original bulk.
Bake at 375 degrees F for 10 minutes, then lower temperature to 350 degrees F and bake about 25 minutes longer.
Now let me say a few things about Ma Maw Province she was mean as a wild cat and only like 5 feet tall.
Right after I met her, her husband Pa Paw of many years passed away on the way to get a pace maker installed right there in the car with my mother in law and her there.
It was a bad deal and she didn't like anyone and was mean to them.
In particular my mother in law.
She tried it with me and I cussed her out when she was in her mid 80's.
She had went into a room and decided to die.
I had to practically flip her out of bed to get her up.
She was like the devil.
From that time on we were buddies. 
Then when she would get in a fight with someone she would go with me and have a drink.
Where did you guys go for so long.
To the bar shut up and mind your own businesses.
She just wanted to be treated like a human and not coddled over.
I guess I sort of took the place of her husband in that way.
Soon after Alzheimer'sset in and she finally passed away.
