Kentucky Spoon Bread Recipe

Combine milk and cream in a heavy saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat whisking occasionally. While whisking pour in cornmeal in a steady stream. Whisk vigorously to incorporate the cornmeal about 1 minute. Remove from heat and set aside to cool to room temperature.

Transfer cornmeal mixture to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Add eggs 2 tablespoons butter sugar baking powder and salt. Mix on medium speed until uniform and aerated about 15 minutes. Mix in the corn by hand.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Lightly butter a round 1 1/2-quart casserole dish with remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Pour batter into the casserole dish.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and puffy and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean about 30 minutes.
