Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 cups milk

3/4 cup cornmeal

5 tablespoons unsalted butter -- cut into small pieces

4 eggs -- lightly beaten

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon sugar

1 cup corn kernels

cut from 2 small ears

4 ounces jalapeno chile pepper -- chopped fresh

(or one 4-ounce can)

seeds and ribs removed

1/3 cup red bell peppers -- trimmed, diced

2 cups sharp cheddar cheese -- grated, loosely packed

(5 to 6 ounces)

 

1. Preheat the oven to 375 F. In a small mixing bowl, stir together 1/2 cup of

the cold milk with the cornmeal until smooth. Meanwhile, bring remaining 1-1/2

cups milk nearly to a boil. Stir the cornmeal mixture into the hot milk until

smooth. Bring to a boil; boil 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.

 

2. Stir the butter into the hot cornmeal mixture until melted. Add the beaten

eggs gradually, stirring. Then stir in the baking powder, baking soda, salt,

sugar, corn kernels, and jalapeno and bell peppers.

 

3. Place half the batter in a well-buttered 1 1/2-quart souffle dish or

casserole. Top with half the grated cheese. Repeat, adding another layer of

batter and topping with remaining cheese. Bake until puffed and golden 40 to 45

minutes. Serve immediately. Serves 8.
