  corn on the cob you might enjoy here at the Indiana State Fair. The corn you
  see is field corn (or dent corn). It is primarily used as feed for livestock,
  converted into Ethanol for fuel, or processed for into products like corn
  syrup or corn starch.

  United States and contain at least 51% corn.

1. Separate the yolks and the whites from the dozen eggs.
2. Beat the egg whites until they are stiff and form a peak.
3. To make the whipped cream, use an electric mixer to mix the heavy whipping cream and gradually
   add in 2 cups of sugar in a large bowl. Keep mixing until it forms ridges and is stiff .
4. In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to whip the egg yolks and slowly add in the remaining 2 cups of
   sugar and bourbon.
5. Combine the egg mixtures by slowly folding in the egg yolk mixture into the egg white mixture.
6. Once they are combined, slowly mix the egg mixture into the whipped cream, making sure to
   scrape the edges of the bowl to incorporate all the ingredients until it becomes thick and creamy.
7. Gradually mix in milk until desired consistency is reached.
8. For up to 2 weeks, eggnog can be stored in a container in the refrigerator. Shake well before serving. Separation is normal.
