Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 ¼ cups whole milk
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 2 egg whites
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Place 1 tablespoon unsalted butter into an 8-inch cast iron skillet. Place the skillet into an oven and preheat to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Mix the 2 ¼ cups whole milk and 1 cup cornmeal in a microwave-safe dish and microwave for 1 minute, checking to make sure it doesn’t boil over.
- Stir the mixture and microwave again for another 3-4 minutes, stopping every minute or so to stir until the mixture is thick and creamy.
- Set the cornmeal mixture aside. In a separate bowl using a hand mixer whisk the 2 egg whites until soft peaks form.
- When the egg whites have been whipped return to the cornmeal mixture and mix in the 2 teaspoons honey, 2 egg yolks, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Fold the egg whites into the cornmeal mixture to create the batter. Remove the cast iron skillet from the oven and pour the batter into the skillet.
- Bake the bread for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Remove the skillet from the oven and serve the bread fresh as a side with honey and butter.
