Directions

Ingredients :

1 tablespoon butter

2 tablespoons cornmeal for dusting

1 cup all-purpose flour

½ cup semolina flour

½ cup cornmeal

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

4 cups chopped fresh spinach

3 cups buttermilk

1 cup brine-packed feta cheese

crumbled

4 eggs

lightly beaten

⅔ cup vegetable oil

Methods :

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Butter 9×13-inch baking pan; sprinkle 2 tablespoons cornmeal on bottom.

Sift all-purpose flour, semolina flour, 1/2 cup cornmeal, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Whisk spinach, buttermilk, feta cheese, eggs, and vegetable oil together in a separate large bowl. Stir flour mixture into spinach mixture just until pourable batter forms. Pour batter into prepared baking pan.

Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes.
