Cooking spray or vegetable oil for greasing the pan
Preheat the oven to 350°. Coat an 8-inch square baking pan or
2-quart casserole with cooking spray or grease it lightly.
In a large bowl combine the cornmeal, salt and baking powder.
Pour in the boiling water and add the margarine. Stir. The cornmeal
will swell and soak up the water. Stir in the soymilk.
Add the eggs. Stir until the batter is smooth.
Pour the batter into the baking pan. Bake for 45 minutes. The bread
will be lightly browned and the top will be puffy. Serve by scooping
up spoonfuls onto your plate. This is where it gets it's name.
The eggs make this bread especially high in protein, which means it
makes a good main dish, especially on meatless days. We like to serve
spoonbread with a pot of greenbeans and new potatoes or a pot of
spicy boiled greens.
And above
all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall
cover the multitude of sins. Use hospitality one to another
without grudging. As every man hath received the gift, even so
minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold
grace of God.--1 Peter 4:8-10
