Old Dominion Spoon Bread image

My Virginia aunt's old family recipe, thus the name Dominion. It's similar to cornbread in taste, but is much softer and should be served with a spoon, rather than cut. This is a comfort food for me, bringing back memories of my childhood. Delicious served with seafood!

Time 1h20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup cornmeal (I prefer yellow)
2 cups boiling water
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
2 whole eggs
1 cup buttermilk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Spray 9x9-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Place cornmeal in pot.
  • Pour boiling water over cornmeal, stirring to moisten.
  • Cook cornmeal over low heat for 5 minutes stirring frequently, to form a "mush".
  • Add salt, baking powder, baking soda, eggs, and buttermilk.
  • Stir to mix well.
  • **When you add baking soda and baking powder, this mixture will foam up, so be sure to use a larger pot than you think you'll need.
  • **Immediately pour batter into prepared 1-1/2 quart casserole casserole.
  • Bake 50-60 minutes or until set in the middle and lightly browned on top.
