Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
Letʼs prepare the ingredients. We will prepare a classic casserole without using any additives. All products needed for preparing the casserole that are stored in the refrigerator must be removed from it in advance so that they are at room temperature.

Step 2

Step 2
Pour cornmeal into a bowl. If you don’t have such flour on hand, you can easily and quickly make it at home by grinding corn grits in a coffee grinder; first, of course, you need to wash and dry the grits.

Step 3

Step 3
Add sugar and salt. The amount of these ingredients can be changed depending on taste preferences. Mix dry ingredients. Put a pinch of soda in a bowl and pour kefir over everything. An alkaline reaction must occur between the ingredients (soda and kefir).

Step 4

Step 4
Add a piece of softened butter to the corn mixture; if it is hard, it is better to melt it in a water bath and cool to room temperature, otherwise you will not be able to mix it with other ingredients until smooth. Beat a chicken egg into a bowl. Mix the mixture thoroughly with a tablespoon or spatula until the chicken egg is completely dispersed.

Step 5

Step 5
Mix the mixture and leave on the table for 10 minutes. Let the flour soak in the liquid and the mass increase significantly in volume.

Step 6

Step 6
Grease the casserole dish with butter and sprinkle with cornmeal (the sides and bottom of the pan) so that it can be easily removed after baking. Pour the mixture into the mold. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Bake the dish for about 25 minutes, depending on the size of the mold and, accordingly, the volume of the mass, as well as on the operation of the oven. The casserole should increase in volume and brown on top.
