Heart to Hearth Cookery

Corn-in-the-milk bread

In my previous post on bear grease, I was preparing the rock with bear grease to start the process of making kahahpon (a preservation method for “corn-in-the milk” bread).  Touching Leaves Woman describes making kahahpon when the “corn got in the milky stage”.  She writes that you have to “get the corn early in the morning and prepare it” by removing the silks and husks and scraping off the corn.  I am cooking and turning the bread which needs to be baked prior to preserving.
