In small bowl with fork, beat eggs slightly and stir in milk; then stir
this mixture into flour mixture just until flour is moistened.

Heat to boiling. Cook, stirring, until slightly thickened, about 5

Serve warm, or cool loaf completely to serve later.

I've also made 3 small (3.5x6 inch) loaves with this recipe, baked at 350F
