Grandma Pillow's Boiled Milk, recipe from Greene Co., AR Centenial Cook Book, published in 1983. Pg. 174

Mrs. Dora Pillow Hunter, remembers her Grandma Pillow's boiled milk. This was, of course cooked on a wooden range. Always the stove was very hot before she would ever mix the cornbread. She would take a tablespoon of pork fat and put it into an iron skillet, sprinkle a little cornmeal in it. and let it brown. Meanwhile, she would mix two big handfuls of cornmeal, a pinch of salt, two fingerfuls of baking powder, a dab of baking soda, one fresh egg, a little pork grease and just enough buttermilk so batter won't be too thick. Pour mixture into hot skillet and cook until brown. After cornbread is done let it cool, then crumble it into a saucepan and salt and pepper to taste, then pour enough sweet milk in it to cover cornbread. If it gets too thick just add more a little more sweet milk, and stir often so it won't stick. Let it come to a boil and pour immediately into soup bowls. This is not the same thing as mush.

Grandma Charlcey Hyde Pillow was my father, Arthur Pillow's mother, and the wife of John W. Pillow. Arthur Pillow was a Greene County Judge. They lived on a farm northwest of Pine Knott Church of Christ. They were the parents of ten children. Her father was a gospel preacher, James Hyde. Grandma Pillow was born January 9, 1861--died June 24, 1929. Before she passed away she taught her daughter-in-law, Ruth Bass Pillow, to serve this boiled milk. Besides just good ole' eating it was good for aches and pains too.
