Corn Spoonbread

My Corn Spoonbread is absolutely divine. I am planning to use this yummy “bread” as a side dish for Christmas. Fresh, canned or cream style corn will also work equally as well. If using cream style, cooking time may have to be lengthened and be sure to drain canned corn completely. The really neat thing about this dish is that if serving as a side dish, leave the bread in the ramekin. On the other hand, if using this recipe as a bread, turn the bread out and put into a cloth lined basket.

Don't get a hurry and forget to allow the mixture to rest for 15 minutes BEFORE baking. Gluten free flour and such take longer to absorb liquid. 

Here is my recipe:

1 cup Bob's Red Mill gluten free cornmeal mix

1 tablespoon Rumford baking powder

1/2 cup Jackie's Quick Bread Flour Blend (recipe follows below)

2 tablespoons sugar

1 teaspoon salt

4 cups frozen whole kernel corn

2 cups plain yogurt

1/4 cup melted butter

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

1 teaspoon fresh thyme, finely chopped

3 large eggs, lightly beaten

Here is how I made it:1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray 12 6-ounce ramekins with gluten free non-stick cooking spray; set aside.

2. Place cornmeal mix, baking powder, flour, sugar and salt in a large mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly and make a well (a little hollowed out place) in the center of the dry ingredients.

3. In a separate bowl, mix together the corn, yogurt, melted butter, parsley, thyme and eggs.

4. Pour the corn mixture into the well in the center of the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly. Divide mixture equally among the 12 prepared ramekins. Allow to rest for 15 minutes prior to baking.

5. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and set. Serve immediately.
