2 eggs                                                          1 T. milk

1 tsp. baking powder                                    1/2 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt                                                     1 c. pecans, chopped

3/4 c. maraschino cherries, chopped           1 c. dates, chopped

10 maraschino cherries, quartered               2 ½ c. crushed cornflakes
