Virginia Egg Bread
I am particularly fond of this dish—it is, I think, my favorite, and I pass along the recipe with the hope that others will find it as satisfying and delicious as do those who already list it among their favorites.
1 cup water ground corn meal (white)
2½ cups boiling water
1 cup sweet milk
3 or 4 eggs
1 teaspoonful salt
2 tablespoonsful butter
2 teaspoonsful sugar
Stir boiling water into the sifted meal; add sweet milk; when cool break eggs into the mixture and beat thoroughly; add salt, sugar and butter melted. Bake in well buttered baking dish in hot oven.
