Homemade spoon bread is a warm, comforting Southern classic that blends the softness of pudding with the heartiness of cornbread. Perfectly golden on top and creamy inside, it’s a cozy side dish for any meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 can (14 oz) creamed corn

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F and grease a medium casserole dish.
  2. In a bowl, mix cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, beat eggs and stir in milk, melted butter, and creamed corn.
  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients until just mixed. Let rest for 5 minutes.
  5. Pour batter into the greased dish and smooth the top.
  6. Bake for 35–40 minutes until golden and just set in the center.
  7. Cool for 5 minutes, then serve warm with butter on top.

Notes

  • Do not overmix to keep texture light.
  • Add cheese or jalapeño for a flavorful variation.
  • Letting the batter rest helps hydrate the cornmeal.
