Hleb "na kasiku"/Spoon bread

Please scroll down for English version

Ako volite proju i kukuruzni hleb sigurno cete voleti i ovaj Spoon bread!!!

Potrebno:
3 solje mleka
150 gr sitnog kukuruznog brasna
3 jaja (sobne temperature)
2 kasike istopljenog maslaca
1 3/4 kasicice praska za pecivo
1 kasicica soli

solja = 2,5 dl

Ukljuciti rernu da se zagreje na 190 stepeni.
Staviti mleko da se kuva. Kad provri, neprestano mesajuci, sipati kukuruzno brasno (kao kad kuvate instant palentu). Skinuti s vatre i ostaviti da se ohladi na sobnoj temeperaturi. Ohladjeno brasno prebaciti u ciniju za miksanje, dodati umucena jaja, istopljeni maslac, so i prasak za pecivo. Miksati, srednjom brzinom miksera, 15 minuta.
Kalup sirine 22 cm ili modlice za souffle namazati maslacem, sipati pripremljenu smesu pa peci 30 minuta. Servirati vruce.

Moj hlebic bio je malo tvrdji, a i samo testo je bilo malo gusce nego sto je trebalo. Napravila sam tri greske, jaja mi nisu bila sobne temperature i nisam ih umutila, a nisam ni miksala masu punih 15 minuta... Sledeci put sledicu recept u potpunosti pa ako i tada bude gusci, povecacu kolicinu mleka.

Ovo je moja poslednja ulaznica za igricu Ajme, koliko nas je koju je osmislila monsoon, a u kojoj na moj predlog pravimo jela od kukuruza i kukurznih preradjevina.

English version:
Spoon bread
(adapted from here)

3 cups whole milk

1 1/4 cups (5 1/2 ounces) cornmeal
 (white corn meal if you can find it)
3 eggs
at room temperature, beaten
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

Preheat your oven to 375. In a medium sauce pan, bring the milk to the boil. Then, while stirring, add the corn meal in a steady stream (if you've ever made polenta, you'll recognize this process). Take the pan off the heat and set it aside, allowing the mixture to cool to room temperature. It will be very cold and firm at that point. Be not dismayed. Put the mixture into the bowl of an electric mixer, add the beaten eggs, melted butter, salt and baking powder. Beat at medium speed for 15 minutes. Pour into a buttered casserole or 9" cake round, and bake for 30 minutes. Serve at the table, straight from the pan.
