- 1 cup cold milk
- 2 large eggs, well beaten
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Preparation:
In a large saucepan, combine cornmeal with 2 cups of water; add 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring mixture to a boil then lower the heat; cook, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes. The mixture will be very stiff. Remove from heat and slowly stir in 1 cup of cold milk. Stir in the beaten eggs and melted butter. Preheat oven to 400° and heat a greased 1 1/2 to 2-quart baking dish or 8-inch square baking dish. Pour the well blended batter into the hot baking dish; bake for about 40 minutes, or until firm in the middle and nicely browned. Serve hot, straight from the baking dish. This quantity provides 4 to 6 small servings; for more, double the recipe.

Lizette ... It looks like you and friends will have some fun at the local Berea Spoonbread festival (I've never heard of a spoonbread festival anywhere, and it must be a Kentucky thing). Thanks for sharing this localism post.
Lizette, I never had spoonbread but it must be good if there is a spoonbread festival. It looks delicious!
Lizette: Sounds yummy and the festival I bet will be a lotta fun... enjoy
Lizette - I've never heard of spoonbread before, sounds and looks tasty though.
Sounds like a fun time. I think I would like that spoonbread. Wonder why we never had that in TN?
My wife made cornbread to go with stew tonight. Not sure how it differs.
Lizette,
Sounds like a yummy good time!
