Recipe of Birvie Parris. Handed in by her daughter Vila Parris Tyree. Try it, I'm sure you will enjoy it!
2 C Grated Sweet Potatoes
1 C Sweet Milk
1 C Sugar
2 Eggs
1/2 T Corn Meal
1 T Flour

This receipe is one that has come down through the years. Where my Mom got it, or maybe she just made it up, I don't know.
Most of the food comes from homegrown, for we were farmers. It has to be at least a hundred years old. All of the neighbors all have this recipe. Colleen Brown usually makes it when we have lunch at church.
This recipe and many others will be published
and available at the
