Tips:
- Use a good quality cornmeal. Stone-ground cornmeal will give your spoon bread a more rustic flavor and texture than finely ground cornmeal.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the spoon bread tough.
- Let the batter rest for at least 15 minutes before baking. This will allow the cornmeal to absorb the liquid and will help the spoon bread to rise.
- Bake the spoon bread in a hot oven. A hot oven will help the spoon bread to rise and will give it a crispy crust.
- Serve the spoon bread hot. Spoon bread is best served hot out of the oven with butter, honey, or your favorite syrup.
