Ingredients
ShopInstructions
Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 2-quart baking dish.
Heat milk in saucepan until almost boiling.
Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until thickened like porridge.
Remove from heat and stir in butter until melted.
Beat egg yolks and stir into cornmeal mixture along with baking powder.
Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold egg whites into cornmeal mixture.
Pour into prepared dish and bake 35-40 minutes until puffed and golden.
Serve immediately by spooning onto plates - it will deflate as it cools.
Chef's Comfy Tip
Timing is everything - serve this straight from the oven while it's at its most dramatic puffed state!
