Spoonbread (Polenta Soufflé)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350^oF. In a saucepan heat the milk nearly to boiling, just until bubbles begin appearing around the edge of the pan. Slowly add the De la Estancia Organic Polenta in a thin stream while stirring with a wire whisk. As soon as the mixture begins to thicken remove from the heat – it should have the consistency of thin gruel. Stir in the baking powder, salt and the yolks of the eggs. Gently fold in the whites of the eggs that have been beaten just until stiff. Pour into a greased baking pan and bake at 350^oF for 30 minutes. Serve at once with a bit of butter and salt and pepper.
