2 c. milk
1/2 c. instant grits
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking powder
2 tbsp. butter, melted
1/2 tsp. sugar
3 eggs, separated

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease 1 1/2 quart casserole or 1 1/2 quart souffle dish. Scald milk, add grits, and cook until thick, stirring constantly. Add salt, baking powder, butter, and sugar; mix well. Beat egg yolks and add to grits. Whip egg whites until they hold soft peaks; fold in. Pour into prepared dish. Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes. Serve hot.

NOTE: Just before folding in the egg whites, 1/2 cup grated sharp cheese, and a dash of Tabasco sauce can be added to make an excellent variation of the above recipe.
