Best 7 Mom Sampsons Spoonbread Recipes

SPOONBREAD

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, heat milk, cream and butter until just boiling. Whisk in cornmeal in a slow steady stream, stirring until mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and stir in corn kernels and chives. Beat egg yolks and stir into the mixture. Beat egg whites until stiff and fold into the batter to lighten it. Pour mixture into a greased 8 by 8-inch casserole pan, spread evenly with a spatula. Bake 30 minutes in a preheated 350-degree F oven until risen like a souffle.
• Spoonbread will be puffed and golden brown; a knife inserted into the center should come out clean.

SPOONBREAD

Steps:

• Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Lightly butter a 1 1/2 quart souffle dish or casserole with 1 tablespoon of the butter and dust with 1 tablespoon of the cornmeal.
• In a medium saucepan, scald the half-and-half and remaining butter over medium-high heat. While whisking constantly, gradually pour in the cornmeal and salt. Lower the heat and simmer, while whisking, until thickened, about 3 minutes. Scrape the cornmeal mixture into a bowl and whisk in the egg yolks, one by one. Whisk in the baking powder, chives, and cayenne.
• In a clean non-reactive bowl, whip the egg whites to soft peaks. Lightly mix a quarter of the whites into the cornmeal mixture to lighten it, and then fold in the rest with a rubber spatula. Pour the batter into the prepared dish and bake until puffed and golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes. Serve immediately as a side dish or as a main course with tomato salad.
• In a large serving bowl, whisk together the vinegar, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Add the tomatoes, herbs, and scallions and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper, if needed. Set aside for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to come together. Serve.
