SPOONBREAD



Spoonbread image

Popular in Virginia, the Carolinas and elsewhere in North America, spoonbread has a long history thought to date back to the Sewee tribe of the South Carolina Lowcountry. Somewhat closer to soufflé than cornbread, its tender texture comes from eggs and the creamed corn. It's slightly sweet from the kernels, a bit of sugar and vanilla extract, but gently tangy from sour cream, relying upon simple ingredients that come together into something great. This version uses fresh or frozen crawfish, but don't worry if crawfish isn't available to you: Spoonbread is still wonderful without it.

Time 1h

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted, plus more for greasing the pan and serving
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup stone-ground cornmeal
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 (15-ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained (or use 1 1/2 cups fresh corn kernels from 2 large ears of corn)
1 (14.75-ounce) can creamed corn
1 1/2 cups sour cream
2 large eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pound shelled frozen crawfish, defrosted and patted dry, or 1 pound shelled fresh crawfish (or skip crawfish altogether)
A handful of chopped chives (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, salt, baking powder and pepper.
  • To another medium bowl, add the melted butter, corn kernels, creamed corn, sour cream, eggs and vanilla, and stir to combine.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir until just combined, making sure not to overmix.
  • Fold in crawfish and chives, if using. Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly to the edges of the pan.
  • Bake until set and lightly browned, about 40 minutes. Insert a toothpick into the middle to test. If it comes out clean, pull it out of the oven. If not, bake the spoonbread for another 5 to 10 minutes. Garnish with extra chives, if desired, and serve the spoonbread hot, with butter.

Tips:

  • Use day-old bread for a better texture in your spoonbread.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will result in a tough spoonbread.
  • Bake the spoonbread in a hot oven for a crispy crust.
  • Serve the spoonbread warm with your favorite toppings, such as butter, honey, or syrup.
  • For the potato salad, use waxy potatoes that will hold their shape when cooked, such as red potatoes or new potatoes.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are tender but still firm, then drain and let them cool slightly before adding them to the salad.
  • Use a light mayonnaise-based dressing for the potato salad, so that the flavors of the potatoes and other ingredients can shine through.
  • Add chopped celery, onion, and hard-boiled eggs to the potato salad for a classic flavor combination.
  • Season the potato salad to taste with salt, pepper, and other desired seasonings.

Conclusion:

Spoonbread and potato salad are two classic Southern dishes that are perfect for any occasion. Spoonbread is a versatile dish that can be served as a side dish, main course, or even dessert. Potato salad is a refreshing and flavorful dish that is perfect for picnics, potlucks, and barbecues.
