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.
