When it is hot, add a cup of yellow corn–

eggs. Stir these well together, then stir in
carefully the whites of the three eggs beaten
stiff. Pour into a deep buttered baking dish,
and bake.

bay leaf, a dash of Worcestershire sauce, and
salt

taste. Cook for another twenty min–
utes. Thicken the gravy with flour. Let this
cool. Pour into a deep baking dish, and
cover the top with pie crust. Bake until the
