CORNMEAL SPOON BREAD image

There's something comforting about a souffle. Make sure you let it cool a bit before serving, even though it may fall just a bit. Cooling for 5 minutes brings out the best taste. Recipe & photo: bhg.com 11-16-14

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 Tbsp unsalted butter, softened
4 c milk
1 c fine ground white cornmeal or regular cornmeal
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp sugar
4 eggs, separated
1/8 tsp cream of tartar

Steps:

  • 1. Butter a 1-1/2-qt. souffle dish with 2 Tbsp. of the butter; set aside.
  • 2. In a large saucepan heat milk until just below boiling. Slowly whisk in cornmeal; bring to boiling. Cook, whisking constantly, over medium heat about 5 minutes or until mixture thickens and begins to pull away from the sides of the saucepan. Remove from heat; transfer to a large mixing bowl. Cool 10 minutes. Whisk in the remaining 3 Tbsp. butter, salt and sugar. Beat in egg yolks until well blended.
  • 3. In a clean large mixing bowl beat egg whites and cream of tartar with a clean large whisk until they form soft glossy mounds. Stir one-third of the beaten egg whites into cornmeal mixture to lighten.
  • 4. Gently fold in remaining egg whites. Gently turn into prepared souffle dish (batter will nearly fill the dish). Bake in a preheated 400ยบ oven for 30 minutes or until puffed and golden brown. Cool 5 minutes before serving.
