Anadama Batter Bread image

Legend has it that this bread was invented long ago by a farmer who came home to find out his wife had nothing but cornmeal mush for his supper. He cried, "Anna, damn her"!! He tossed some molasses, flour, and yeast into the corn mush and proceeded to make this wonderful bread
