Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 Pt Sweet Milk
1 C Cornmeal -- sifted
1 1/2 Tbsp Sugar
1/2 Tsp Salt
1 Tbsp Butter (Do Not Substitute Margarine) -- heaping
tbs.
3 Eggs -- separated

Scald the milk and slowly add the cornmeal, sugar and salt. Cook untill
it "puffs," stirring constantly. Set off the stove and add the butter.
Allow to cool for 3 minutes. Stir in well-beaten egg yolks. Fold in the
stiffly beaten egg whites. Bake in a dish heavily greased with cooking
oil until it brown and cracks near the edges, about 50 minutes at 350°
. The bread will "fall" when removed from the oven, so eat immediately
with plenty of butter.

Serves 4
