Gritty Spoon Bread
Ingredients
Instructions
- Separate egg yolks and egg whites.
- Bring water and milk to a simmer. Add grits and cornmeal, whisking until mixture is thick. Cooking time depends on type of grits. Remove from heat.
- Whisk a small amount of hot mixture into the yolks. Pour the yolk mixture back into the pan with the grits/cornmeal. Continue whisking on low heat for a minute or two.
- Remove from heat and whisk in the butter.
- Pour hot mixture into a large, shallow bowl, so mixture can cool quickly.
- In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until stiff.
- Stir/whisk the 1 tsp. baking powder into the grits mixture.
- Fold egg whites into the grits/meal.
- Pour mixture into a greased baking dish (I use a 9" square pyrex.)
- Bake at 400 degrees for 40-45 minutes.
- Serve with a little butter or hot sauce. Also good left-over and microwaved.
