There's nothing like a slice of cornbread to go along with chili or beans!
Set oven to 425°F and place into it a heavy baking pan or 10" iron skillet.
Heat milk to near-boiling and mix well with the cornmeal. Cover and let rest for at least 5 minutes, and proceed to prepping remaining ingredients.
Blend together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a bowl.
Separate egg yolks and whites and whip egg whites into soft peaks.
Beat in butter, egg yolks, sugar, and salt into the batter, then mix in the sifted dry ingredients.
Fold in the whipped egg whites.
Grease the pre-heated pan and pour the batter into it.
Bake for 20 to 30 Minutes depending or thickness, or until done.
