SWEET CORN SPOONBREAD, THE EASY WAY
If you have an immersion blender, this is a great time to use it and save yourself energy. Finally, the recipe suggests you preheat your oven before you begin. For me, this led to an oven running at 400 degrees for an hour. But some ovens take longer than others to preheat; if yours is one of them, turn it on when the recipe suggests. If not, find a time 20 minutes or so before you need to bake it.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (see Note above if this seems too early). Very generously grease a 1 1/2 quart soufflé dish or an 8-inch square baking dish. Whisk cornmeal and 3/4 cup of milk in a small bowl until combined and set aside.
- Melt butter in a pot over medium-high heat. Cook corn until beginning to brown, which can take as little as 3 minutes with fresh corn but with defrosted frozen corn. Stir in sugar, salt, cayenne and remaining 2 cups milk and bring to a boil. Remove from heat, cover, and let mixture steep for 15 minutes.
- If you've got an immersion blender, please use it to save time. Otherwise, transfer mixture to a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. Back in the pot (or still, if it had never left) bring it back to a boil, reduce heat to low and add the cornmeal-milk mixture, whisking constantly until thickened, about 2 to 3 minutes. If you want to do fewer dishes and don't mind if it takes longer to cool, you can leave it in the pot. Otherwise, transfer to a large bowl and return mixture to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
- Once cool, whisk in egg yolks. Beat egg whites and cream of tartar in a medium bowl until stiff peaks form and fold it in to the corn mixture, one-third at a time. Pour batter into prepared baking dish and baked until spoonbread is golden brown and has risen above rim of dish, about 45 minutes. Serve immediately.

GARDUNO'S SWEET CORN SPOON BREAD
Having been a customer of Garduno's Mexican Restaurant for many years I fell in love with these...They would serve them on the combo plate as a side dish...It is like having desert at the same time...I love these...It is similar to spoon bread....I have made a few changes to it....Which is because I love green chili and onion powder, to include raw sugar rather than white sugar plus sea salt...They just add to the flavor...

Steps:
- Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven F (175 degrees C) oven for 50 to 60 minutes. Use 9x13 inch baking dish that is filled a third of the way with water.
- In a medium bowl beat butter until it is creamy. Add the Mexican corn flour and water and beat until well mixed.
- Using a food processor, process thawed corn, but leave chunky. Stir into the butter mixture.
- In a separate bowl, mix cornmeal, sugar, cream, salt, onion powder, and baking powder. Add to corn flour mixture and stir in green chili to combine.
- Pour batter into an ungreased 8x8 inch baking pan. Smooth batter and cover with aluminum foil. Place pan into a 9x13 inch baking dish that is filled a third of the way with water.
- Allow to cool for 10 minutes. Use an ice cream scoop for easy removal from pan.
Tips
- Use fresh or frozen corn. Fresh corn is best, but frozen corn will work in a pinch. If using frozen corn, thaw it completely before using.
- Don't overcook the corn. Overcooked corn will be tough and chewy. Cook it just until it is tender.
- Use a good quality cheese. The type of cheese you use will greatly affect the flavor of the spoonbread. Use a cheese that melts well and has a good flavor.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the spoonbread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the spoonbread until it is set. The spoonbread should be firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
Conclusion
Sweet corn spoonbread is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up fresh or frozen corn and it can be served with a variety of main dishes. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special dish for a holiday gathering, sweet corn spoonbread is sure to please.
