Steep a quart of white corn in weak lye for two days, wash in two waters and boil it about 4 hours or until tender. The lye from the leach of wood ashes is the kind generally used, but a weak solution of concentrated lye will answer and if that is not available mix a handful of baking soda in water enough to cover the corn twice over and let steep in that. Wash well before cooking, eat with salt and milk.
