Southern Spoon Bread - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 c. milk
1/2 c. cornmeal (yellow preferably)
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
3 eggs, divided

Preparation

Heat milk nearly to boiling.
Stir in cornmeal gradually and cook until consistency of mush (fairly thick but not stiff), stirring constantly.
Add baking powder, salt and egg yolks, beaten until light.
Fold in stiffly beaten egg whites.
Pour into a greased baking dish.
(I simply put a blob of Crisco in a casserole and place in oven to melt.) Bake 30 minutes at 350\u00b0. Serve at once with plenty of butter from the casserole in which it was baked.
