Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 medium (finely chopped) Yellow onion
- 1 cup Cornmeal
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Buttermilk
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Whole kernel corn (canned or frozen, thawed)
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 2 stalks Green onions (thinly sliced)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 2-quart baking dish or casserole dish generously with butter.
Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped yellow onion and sauté until golden and caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and eggs until smooth. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and fold gently to combine.
Stir in the caramelized onions, whole kernel corn, shredded cheddar cheese, and half of the sliced green onions. Mix gently until evenly incorporated.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula. Sprinkle the remaining green onions over the top for a pop of fresh flavor and color.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is just set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out mostly clean.
Remove the dish from the oven and allow the spoon bread to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with an optional pat of butter or a dollop of sour cream for extra richness.
