Description

Learn how to make spoon bread from scratch with this homemade recipe! A Southern staple and Kentucky classic, I describe spoon bread as grits meets cornbread in all the right ways. Light and fluffy, this bread dish is the ultimate southern comfort food! Serve hot immediately out of the oven with a large pad of butter.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Cup Cornmeal
  • 4 Cups Milk
  • 3 Tablespoon Melted Butter
  • 1 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
  • 1 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 4 Eggs - whisked

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a large saucepan, add the cornmeal and milk and place on the stove on medium heat. Whisk continually until thick, about 10-15 minutes.
  3. Once thick, remove from the heat and add the butter, salt, and baking powder. Whisk until mixed.
  4. Slowly add the beaten eggs to the cornmeal mixture until everything is incorporated together.
  5. Pour into a greased 1 1/2 quart baking dish.
  6. Place in the oven and bake for 45 minutes.
  7. Remove and serve immediately hot out of the oven. Best enjoyed with a pad of butter on each serving!

Notes

  • This is best eaten hot right out of the oven, so it is not able to be made ahead of time.
