Corn Spoon Bread from Kentucky
Ingredients
  • 2 3/4 cups 1% milk
  • 1/4 cup whipping cream
  • 1 1/4 cups finely ground white cornmeal
  • 3 large eggs, well beaten
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 3 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup corn
Instructions
1
Combine milk and cream in a large saucepan and heat it intensely over high heat, stirring constantly with a spoon. As you stir, slowly pour in the cornmeal in a continuous flow. Stir rapidly to blend the cornmeal thoroughly, approximately 1 minute. Take the saucepan off the heat source and let it sit for a while to cool down to a comfortable temperature.
2
Transfer the cornmeal mixture to the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a flat attachment. Add eggs, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix on a medium speed until everything is well combined and smooth, around 15 minutes. Use your hands to mix in the corn.
3
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
4
Gently grease a round 1 1/2-quart casserole dish with the remaining 1 tablespoon of melted butter. Pour the batter into the prepared casserole dish.
5
Bake in the preheated oven until it's golden brown, puffy, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, approximately 30 minutes.
