CORNMEAL-CREME FRAICHE SPOON BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium saucepan, combine milk, butter, and salt. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to maintain simmer. Gradually whisk in cornmeal until mixture is thickened, about 1 minute. Remove from heat; whisk in creme fraiche.
• In a large heatproof bowl, whisk together egg yolks and chives. Gradually whisk in cornmeal mixture; fold in corn.
• Butter a 9-inch round cake pan. Whisk egg whites on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 1 minute. Stir one-quarter of beaten whites into cornmeal mixture to loosen. Gently fold in remaining whites until just combined. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake until puffed and lightly browned on top, about 40 minutes. Serve immediately.

CORN SPOONBREAD

Steps:

• Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly butter a 1 1/2 quart baking dish and dust with cornmeal; set aside.
• Heat the butter and half-and-half in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until the butter melts and the half-and-half is steaming. Add 3/4 teaspoon salt. Whisking constantly, slowly pour in the cornmeal. Lower the heat to maintain a simmer and continue to cook, whisking, until thickened, about 3 minutes. Transfer the cornmeal mixture to a large bowl and let cool slightly. Whisk in the egg yolks, one at a time. Whisk in the scallion, baking powder and cayenne.
• In a medium bowl, whip the egg whites with a whisk to soft peaks. Fold about one-quarter of the whites into the cornmeal mixture to lighten it, then fold in the rest until no white streaks remain. Pour the batter into the prepared dish and bake until puffed and golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes. Sprinkle with scallion and serve hot.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 12 (6-oz) ramekins (individual baking dishes) with butter.
• In large bowl, stir together cornmeal mix, flour, sugar and salt; make well in center of mixture. In another bowl, stir together corn, yogurt, melted butter, 1/4 cup chives, the parsley, thyme and eggs; add to cornmeal mixture, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened. Divide mixture evenly among ramekins. Place ramekins on large cookie sheet.
• Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until golden brown and set. Garnish with chives. Serve immediately.

BAKED SPOON BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Butter a casserole or souffle dish.
• Combine cream, butter, sugar, honey, and salt in a saucepan over low heat; cook and stir until butter melts, 2 to 3 minutes. Slowly stir cornmeal into cream mixture until thickened but not boiling, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour cornmeal mixture into a large bowl.
• Beat egg yolks, 1 at a time, into cornmeal mixture, ensuring egg yolk is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir baking powder and white pepper into cornmeal-egg yolk mixture.
• Beat egg whites in a glass or metal bowl until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form sharp peaks. Fold egg whites into cornmeal-egg yolk mixture; pour into the prepared dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden and puffed, about 35 minutes.

TRADITIONAL APPALACHIAN SPOON BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an oven-proof cast iron Dutch oven or a deep baking dish.
• Heat milk and cornmeal in the top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring frequently, until thick and creamy, about 5 minutes. Remove cornmeal mixture from heat and stir in butter and 1 teaspoon salt until well combined.
• Beat egg yolks, sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar together in a bowl until smooth; stir into cornmeal mixture.
• Beat egg whites, 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar, and 1 pinch salt together in a separate bowl using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form soft mounds rather than a sharp peak. Gently fold egg white mixture into cornmeal mixture until well mixed and fluffy; pour into prepared Dutch oven.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown with a moist center, about 30 minutes. Allow to rest for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
