Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1¼ cups flour
- ¾ cup cornmeal
- ¼ cup sugar
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Wet Ingredients
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 eggs
- 1 (14.75-ounce) can creamed corn
- 1 (15-ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
- 1¼ cups sour cream
Others
- Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and place a rack in the center position. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and kosher salt until evenly combined. This ensures your base has a uniform texture.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Whisk in the melted butter, eggs, creamed corn, whole kernel corn, and sour cream into the dry mixture. Continue whisking until you have a well-blended, smooth batter with evenly distributed corn.
- Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the center is just set and the edges become lightly browned, indicating it’s perfectly cooked through.
- Serve Warm: Remove the spoon bread from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve warm as a delicious side dish to complement your meal.
Notes
- Use fresh corn if available, but drained canned corn works well for convenience.
- For a richer flavor, substitute sour cream with crème fraîche or Greek yogurt.
- Make sure not to overbake to keep it moist and tender.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated in the oven or microwave.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour blend.
