INGREDIENTS
Cornbread mix
The magic ingredient here (to cut down on ingredients and prep time!). We love using Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix.
Cream style corn
Adding more creaminess to your spoonbread with an extra punch of corn flavor.
Corn
You can use frozen, canned, or roasted – whichever one you have on hand.
Sour cream
For moisture (say goodbye to dry spoonbread!) and a hint of tangy goodness.
Plain yogurt
Also adds moisture and tang! But sour cream can also be used in lieu of plain yogurt.
Butter
For added richness.
Eggs
Serves as a binder to bring everything together.
Sugar
Adds a touch of sweetness to balance out the flavors. But if it is not to your liking, you can omit completely or lessen the amount of sugar to 1 teaspoon.
Although it may be best to hoard half of this for yourself, preferably that creamy center because that center is absolute gold.
Maybe you can fib a little and tell your guests that the edges are the best part. And then keep the center all to yourself. I won’t tell if you won’t.
