How to Make Family Spoon Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch casserole dish.
  2. In a medium saucepan, heat 2 cups of milk over medium heat until it comes to a simmer. Do not boil.
  3. Gradually whisk in the cornmeal, stirring constantly to prevent lumps, until a thick porridge forms. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring continuously.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Whisk in the beaten eggs until well combined.
  5. Stir in the melted butter and the remaining 2 cups of milk.
  6. Gently fold in the baking powder and salt.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared casserole dish.
  8. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached. The center should be set but still slightly soft.
  9. Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious spoon bread!
