Preparation
- Step 1
Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Butter a medium-size baking dish. In a pot, combine 1 tablespoon butter with 1 ¼ cups water and bring to a boil. In a bowl, mix together the cornmeal, flour, salt and sugar and pour into the boiling water, stirring well. Stir in the chilies, and turn off heat.
- Step 2
In a bowl or mixer, whip the egg whites until soft peaks form. To the cornmeal mixture, add the yolks, buttermilk and baking soda, and mix well. Fold in the egg whites until well combined. Scrape the mixture into the prepared pan.
- Step 3
Bake 20 to 30 minutes (depending on the size of the dish), until puffed and golden on top but a little soft in the center. Scoop immediately into serving bowls with a large spoon.
To double the recipe, bake it in two pans.

Made as written, but didn’t have a chili roast. But, still, wouldn’t make again. I think maybe the water stage should have only been to simmer, not boil, cause it nearly went solid when the drys were added. Not very tasty. Heavy.
