How to Make Raspberry Spoonbread

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. In a large saucepan, whisk together the cornmeal, buttermilk, maple syrup, melted butter, and salt.
  3. Cook over medium-high heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks until light and slightly thickened.
  6. Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup of the hot cornmeal mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to prevent scrambling.
  7. Pour the remaining cornmeal mixture into the egg yolk mixture and whisk until smooth.
  8. Whisk in the flour and vanilla extract until just combined.
  9. In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  10. Gradually add the sugar, continuing to beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  11. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the cornmeal batter in two additions, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.
  12. Fold in 2 cups of raspberries.
  13. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
  14. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the spoonbread is puffed, golden brown on top, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (the center will be slightly wobbly).
  15. Let cool for 20 minutes before serving.
  16. Serve warm, topped with fresh raspberries and a dollop of yogurt, if desired.
