    Old fashioned Southern Spoon Bread

    Old fashioned Southern Spoon Bread

    Southern Spoon Bread is an old-fashioned recipe for souffle-like cornbread with a custardy texture, which is scooped with a spoon rather than sliced. This delectable bread may be substituted for classic cornbread with any meal, and you will fall in love with the texture and flavor!

    Prep Time: 10 mins

    Cook Time: 50 mins

    Total Time: 1 hr

    Servings: 8 servings  

    Ingredients for old fashioned Southern Spoon Bread 

    • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
    • 2 1/2 cups whole milk or 2%
    • 1 cup stone ground cornmeal yellow or white
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 3 large eggs beaten
    • 3 tablespoon granulated sugar optional
    • 2 teaspoons baking powder
    • 3 tablespoons melted butter unsalted

    Instructions for old fashioned Southern Spoon Bread 

    1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. set 2 tablespoons of butter in an 8-inch square baking dish and set in the oven to warm.

      Meanwhile, combine the cornmeal and salt in a medium mixing dish. Heat the milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat until little bubbles appear around the rims but it does not boil.

      Pour in the cornmeal slowly, stirring with a wooden spoon to prevent lumps from forming. Cook the cornmeal mixture for 5 minutes, stirring regularly, until it thickens. Remove the pan from the heat.

    2. Add 2 tablespoons of the warm cornmeal mixture to the beaten eggs and whisk together. Repeat with another 2 teaspoons of the cornmeal mixture. This is known as “tempering” or warming the eggs so that they do not scramble when added to the batter.

      Pour the tempered egg mixture into the pan with the remaining cornmeal mixture, whisking to incorporate. Whisk in the sugar, baking powder, and melted butter. Carefully take the baking dish from the oven and add the batter.

    3. Return the dish to the oven and bake the spoon bread for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the top is light golden brown, the middle is set, and a toothpick comes out clean. Serve warm spoon bread with butter and honey!

    NOTES:

    • For the finest flavor and texture, use high-quality, fine stone-ground cornmeal. Cornmeal, whether yellow or white, is excellent.
    • Do not use cornmeal mix, as it contains leavening agents and other substances.
    • While spoon bread tastes best fresh from the oven, it may be made a day or two ahead of time and warmed in the oven, wrapped with foil, when ready to serve.
    • The batter can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated in an airtight container until ready to bake.
    • Leftover spoon bread can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to three days.

    Ingredients for Garlic Butter Steak Bites and Potatoes 

    Steak Marinade

    1½ pounds sirloin steak cut into 1 inch cubes

    ⅓ cup soy sauce low sodium

    1 tablespoon olive oil

    1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce

    Potatoes

    1½ pounds baby potatoes cut in half if too big

    1 tablespoon olive oil

    3 tablespoons butter

    5 cloves garlic minced

    1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

    ½ teaspoon salt or to taste

    ½ teaspoon black pepper or to taste

    Instructions for Garlic Butter Steak Bites and Potatoes 

    1. Combine all of the steak marinade ingredients in a medium-sized mixing basin.
    2. While the potatoes cook, set aside.
    3. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
    4. Cook for about 8 minutes, or until the potatoes are browned and cooked through. Place on a platter.
    5. Add the remaining butter, garlic, and Italian spice to the same skillet. Cook for 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
    6. Spread the meat in a single layer, reserving any leftover marinade.
    7. Cook without touching it for 1 minute, then toss and sear for another minute.
    8. Cook for another minute after pouring the reserved marinade over the steak.
    9. Return the potatoes to the skillet and simmer until heated through. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
    10. Remove from the heat and garnish with fresh parsley or Parmesan cheese.

    NOTES:

    • Make use of both the butter and the oil. Use olive oil in addition to the butter.
    • This keeps the milk solids in butter from burning and turning bitter.
    • Separately, cook the potatoes. The potatoes must be cooked first, not only because they take longer to prepare, but also because the meat requires that time to marinate.
    • Avoid overcooking the meat. If you want your meat well done, go ahead and cook it! If you don’t have one, grill the sirloin pieces for only a few minutes on each side.
    • When stored in an airtight container or freezer, leftovers will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
    • Simply reheat them in the microwave for about 3 minutes on medium heat. If you want, you may reheat them in a skillet.
    • If frozen, thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating in the oven for about 15 minutes at 350°F (176°C).
