• 1 1/2 t salt
• 1 1/2 t baking soda
• 4 C wheat flour
• 2 C of sweet milk

5. Pour the sweet milk into the well slowly.

Serves: 8

Sweet milk is whole milk that has not been processed. Many grocery stores sell sweet milk in their dairy sections. If you can't find sweet milk at your local grocery store buttermilk will work just as well. If the crust on your bread seems to hard, wrap it in a damp kitchen towel until it has completely cooled. This will soften the crust and make it much easier to cut.

If you have family member especially children who just won't eat egg yolks no matter how you fix them try this variation. Fill a few of the egg whites with plain sandwich spread instead of the egg yolk mixture. You can also top these eggs with fine diced pickles, sweet or dill, if you like.
