Bread Pudding... Sort Of :-)

This recipe is a very old one that is the front runner of what everyone thinks of bread pudding today. This is back before the days of sliced white bread! :-)

Southern Spoon Bread

1 cup Yellow Cornmeal

1 ½ t Baking Powder

½ t salt

2 Eggs, beaten

3 T Butter, melted

2 ¼ cups Milk

Stir dry ingredients together. In a greased one quart casserole pour eggs and butter. In a medium-sized pan heat milk to a boil. Stir to avoid scorching. As it starts to boil, sprinkle in the dry ingredients, stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon. Cook and stir for 2 to 3 minutes as it thickens. Mix with eggs in casserole. Bake at 425 for 45 minutes. Serve from casserole with a spoon. Eat with a fork!
