HARD TIMES COFFEE
Short of doffee an' too pore to buy any? Here's yore answer if you have th' following ingredients.
Mix well 2 quarts wheat bran with 1 pint yellow corn meal. Add 3 well beaten eggs and 1 c. best sorghum molasses. Beat well; spread on pan and put to dry in oven. Use great care by stirring often while it is browning - this is the secret of good coffee. A handfull is sufficient for two persons. Sweet cream improves the flavor of the brew, but, as with store-bought coffee, this is a matter of personal taste.
