Southern Spoon Bread
Instructions
1. In a small bowl, thoroughly mix 3/4 cup yellow cornmeal, 1/4 cup white cornmeal mix, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon baking powder.
2. Bring milk to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and quickly add the cornmeal mixture.
3. Stir the cornmeal mixture rapidly into the milk, so that no clumps form.
4. Cook for about 3 minutes, or until it forms a medium-thick mush.
5. Remove the cornmeal mush from the stove, and transfer it to a large mixing bowl.
6. Add 1/2 stick butter or margarine, melted. Stir.
7. Add 2 well-beaten eggs, and stir thoroughly.
8. Now, use an electric mixer to beat the spoonbread mixture for about 5 minutes, until it is quite smooth and has a lot of air incorporated into it.
9. Spray a 1-quart sized casserole dish with oil spray.
10. Pour the spoonbread mixture into the casserole dish and bake in a hot oven (400 degrees) for 20 minutes, or until it puffs up and is delicately brown.
11. Serve immediately with butter.
