This is a very old southern recipe and really, you serve it with a spoon. Try it for something different.

1 cup cornmeal
2 cups milk
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons oil
1 cup milk
3 eggs, divided

Cook cornmeal and 2 cups milk til the consistency of mush. Remove from heat. Add salt, baking powder, oil, and 1 cup milk. Add well-beaten egg yolks; fold in stiffly beaten egg whites.

Bake in a greased 2-quart casserole dish in slow oven (325 deg.) about 1 hour. Spoon into warm dishes; top with butter.

Serves 6.
