Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 cups whole milk
• 1 cup yellow cornmeal
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup cream-style corn
• 1 cup whole kernel corn, drained
• 3 pieces large eggs
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 3

Once the butter is melted, add the milk and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 4

Gradually whisk in the cornmeal, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the mixture thickens.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in sugar, salt, and baking powder. Let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sour cream until smooth.

Step 7

Slowly add the cooled cornmeal mixture to the egg mixture, stirring to combine.

Step 8

Fold in the cream-style corn, whole kernel corn, and cheddar cheese if using.

Step 9

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the spoon bread is golden brown and set in the center.

Step 11

Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a dollop of butter, if desired.
