Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup cream-style corn
- 1 cup whole kernel corn, drained
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Once the butter is melted, add the milk and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Gradually whisk in the cornmeal, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the mixture thickens.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in sugar, salt, and baking powder. Let the mixture cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sour cream until smooth.
Slowly add the cooled cornmeal mixture to the egg mixture, stirring to combine.
Fold in the cream-style corn, whole kernel corn, and cheddar cheese if using.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the spoon bread is golden brown and set in the center.
Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a dollop of butter, if desired.
