Texas Spoon Bread

I love cornmeal dishes.  Jury is still out on whether or not my kids all agree!  Serve this with butter and honey or jam.  If you are not familiar with spoon bread, it is a pudding more than a bread. The recipe comes from Taste of Home.

Texas Spoon Bread

3 c. milk

1 c. yellow cornmeal
1 Tbsp. butter or margarine
1 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. baking powder
3 eggs, separated

In a saucepan, scald the milk; stir in cornmeal.  Reduce heat; simmer for 5 min, stirring constantly.  Remove from the heat; stir in butter, sugar, salt and baking powder.  In a small bowl, beat egg yolks.  Gradually stir a small amount of  the hot mixture into yolks;  return all to pan and mix well.  In a mixing bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form.  Fold egg whites into hot mixture until well blended. Pour into a greased 8 in. square baking dish.  Bake at 350 for 40-45 min. or until well puffed.  Use a spoon to serve.  Yield: 6 servings.
