Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow or white cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup butter or margarine
- 3 eggs, separated
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease or oil a shallow 2 quart pan.
-
Mix cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium saucepan. Stir in the milk and cook over a medium heat until milk is absorbed, which only takes a few minutes. Stir gently but constantly to prevent the mixture from catching on the bottom of the saucepan.
-
Remove from heat. Stir in the butter and the slightly beaten egg yolks.
-
Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold into cornmeal mixture and turn it all out into the prepared 2 quart pan.
- Bake for 35 minutes, or until puffed and golden.
