The Southern Spoonbread recipe is a classic Southern side dish.  It is creamy, moist cornbread that is more like a cornmeal-based souffle or delicate cornbread pudding.

This Sweet Corn Spoonbread is a quick and easy side dish. To make it, combine everything in a bowl, stir, and bake.

It is a favorite around my house. We look forward to having it every year on our Easter menu. The recipe also works well for weeknight menus.

It starts off with a box of Jiffy cornbread mix, then two kinds of corn, butter, eggs, and sour cream, simply delicious.

TIPS AND TIDBITS TO MAKE THE BEST SOUTHERN SPOONBREAD


Jiffy Cornbread Mix. Jiffy cornbread mix is ideal for the recipe, but self-rising cornbread mix is also great, but you will need to add a little sugar.

Eggs.  Bring the eggs to room temperature before starting the recipe.

Corn. Canned corn is ideal in this recipe, but a cup and a half of fresh corn cut off the cob is also great.

Sour cream.  Sour cream is ideal in the recipe, but Greek yogurt is great, too.

Baking dish.  Grease the bottom and sides of the baking dish with butter or lightly spray it with nonstick cooking spray.

Baking. Remember, this is not your typical cornbread, so be sure not to overbake the spoonbread. When you check for doneness, there should be a little spring on the top of the spoonbread, similar to bread pudding.
