The search is on for America's signature recipes.  Now through January 10, 2011 the Eagle Brand Signature Recipe Contest asks home bakers to showcase their signature recipes and creative spins on classic holiday recipes for a chance to win a grand prize of $10,000.

The company says "signature recipes can be modern favorites or recipes passed down through generations, but they always please a crowd."
