In She/byville. Kentucky, there is a very fine regional restaurant called
Science Hill Inn serving Kentucky specialties in what was an old girls'
prep school.. lf you are in the area, you must eat There. It is not too far
from the Shaker restoration at Pleasant Hill. The first time I tasted this
Delicate pudding, which is like a bread pudding only with a bit more
character, I Swooned with pleasure. Much to my delight, I was able to get
the recipe, so when I got back to Indiana, it Was ore of the first things I
made. I do think it is much better if you use the biscuit Recipe on page
119 and soft wheat flour. You can make this with Regular biscuits too, of
course.

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Fill a 12 x I8-inch pan half full of water and
place in the oven. Place the biscuits in a large bowl and pour the milk
over them; let stand for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in a mixer bowl, beat the
eggs, sugar, vanilla, and salt together until well blended but not bubbly.
