Ingredients:
1/4 c. butter
1/4 cup oil
1 medium sized onion, peeled, chopped
1 c. cornmeal
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
2 1/2 c. boiling water
1 egg
1 c. milk
Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 350F.
Put butter and oil into a thick pan, add chopped onions. Saute until tender, but not brown. Remove the onions from the pan. To the drippings in the pan, add the cornmeal, salt and pepper and mix well. Fry for 5 mins., carefully so as not to brown, stir constantly.
Add the water gradually, 1/2 c. at a time while stirring over the heat. Beat the egg and add milk, then beat slightly. Add egg and milk mixture, a little at a time, to the cornmeal, stirring constantly to prevent the egg from cooking seperately. Add onions and stir.
Pour into a saucepan or casserole dish and bake for 1/2 hour. Serve hot.
