Recipe

Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 40 mins Ready Time: 50 mins


• preheat oven to 375 degrees f (190 degrees c). grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
• stir milk, sugar, and butter together in a saucepan over medium-high heat until butter and sugar melt, 1 to 2 minutes.
• mix milk mixture and pumpkin puree together in a bowl. add cornmeal into pumpkin mixture 1/2 cup at a time, stirring batter well after each addition. stir egg yolks and salt into batter.
• beat egg whites in a glass or metal bowl until stiff peaks form. lift your beater or whisk straight up: the tip of the peak formed by the egg whites will form sharp peaks. fold egg whites into batter. pour batter into prepared baking dish.
