1 1/2 c. boiling water
1 c. corn meal
1 tbsp. butter
3 egg yolks
1 c. buttermilk
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. baking soda
3 egg whites, beaten only enough to hold soft peaks

Heat oven to 375 degrees (quick moderate). Pour boiling water over corn meal. Stir until cool to keep from lumping. Add butter and egg yolks. Stir until egg is well blended. Stir in milk.

Blend in salt, sugar, baking powder and soda. Fold in beaten egg whites. Pour into greased 2-quart baking dish. Bake 45-50 minutes. Serve hot with butter. Yield: 6 servings.
