- ½ tsp sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- Butter

- Slowly add some of the thickened cornmeal mixture to the egg mixture while mixing to temper the eggs.

Notes
While you are thickening the cornmeal mixture, you have enough time to beat the eggs.
Doubling the recipe will yield enough to fill a 2 litre casserole dish.
For different flavour variations: Mix in a ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon. Chop up a small onion and cook till tender in the butter, before adding cornmeal.

Do not add the egg mixture to the cornmeal. Some of the eggs will cook on impact resulting in streaks of cooked eggs and a heavier Nachynka.
