Directions

Step #1 Another of my scores this weekend was "from SOUP to DESSERT with the NEW Irradiated PET MILK".
Step #2 That's a book title believe it or not.
Step #3 It's copyrighted 1934 by Pet Milk company.
Step #4 I was naturally curious as to why they were nuking Pet Milk in 1934.
Step #5 That screwed up my historical perspective pretty good, but it turns out that "irradiated" refers to running the milk under an ultraviolet light to increase vitamin D content, not making it glow in the dark.
Step #6 So once my reality check had subsided & I paged through the book, I saw this which made me think of you.

Step #32 That's all pretty straight forward.
Step #33 What it shows in the pictures but not in the text is that the cake is baked in a cast-iron skillet like a nice mess of cornbread.
Step #34 Here's the topping though I can't help but think it's a tad redundant.
