Attention:

You can use a bread pan, glass dish or any other oven safe dishes you have.  The trick is to keep in mind, when you add the batter to the dish or pan pay attention to the (DEPTH) of the batter.  

1. If the batter is really deep it will take a lot longer to cook.

2. If the batter is really shallow it will cook faster. 

INGREDIENTS: 

2 Eggs.

1/2 Cup Sugar.

A few sprigs of fresh Thyme Optional.

1 Stick of Butter softened.

11 Tablespoons of Bread Flour or Unbleached Flour or 1 1/2 cup.

4 Tablespoons Corn Meal.

1 Teaspoon of Baking Powder.

METHOD OF PREPARATION:

FIRST: 

Beat eggs for a minute or two with egg beaters.  Next pour sugar into egg mixture and beat for another minute. 

SECOND: 

Mix 11 Tablespoons of flour to the 4 Tablespoons of corn meal. Add to this a teaspoon of baking powder.

Mix well.

THIRD:

Add butter to egg mixture and mix well, add Thyme to mixture. Next mix in flour a little at a time until you have a nice batter.   If you think the batter is too thick it is totally OK to add 2 Tablespoons of milk,  And mix in.

FORTH:  KEEP AN EYE ON IT.   

Check it every 15 minutes if the batter is thick.  And if the batter is thinner every 5 minutes.

 SPRAY YOUR CHOICE OF BAKING WEAR.

Pour batter into bread pan or glass wear and spread out with spatula.  Set oven to 325 degrees.  

1. If you are using a bread pan. It will take about an hour or less to cook.  

2. If you are using a glass dish and the batter is thin it will take less than a hour.  

When finished the top should be golden brown and you should be able to stick a tooth pick in the middle and when you pull it out it should be clean.  If it is not clean leave it in longer.

FIFTH:  ADDING YUMMY TOPPINGS

Warmed Strawberries, blue berries, peaches or any other seasonal fruit is wonderful addition to this yummy  treat.
