Cornbread Pudding Spoonbread is a great accompaniment to a summer barbecue. Think of it as a mix between cornbread and corn custard pudding with a bit of cheese added in for good measure.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Gather the ingredients so you have everything close at hand on the counter or table. Spray a large square or oblong baking pan with baking spray. Set aside until ready to use.
Prepare the Cornbread Pudding Spoonbread
Grate 1 cup cheddar cheese with a handheld grater. (I used a medium cheddar cheese for this recipe.)
In a large bowl, mix together 1 cup yellow cornmeal, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
If desired, you may substitute the previous 6 ingredients for a box of Jiffy Cornbread, but follow the remaining instructions to the end.
Add in 29.5 oz creamed corn, 1/2 cup buttermelted), 8 oz sour cream, and 2 large eggs. Lightly mix until blended.
Next stir in the grated cheddar cheese until fully incorporated. Spoon the mixture into prepared oblong or large square baking dish, spreading batter to the edges. Sprinkle the top with 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper.
Bake and Serve the Cornbread Pudding
Bake the Cornbread Pudding in *preheated oven until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, approximately 50-55 minutes.
Allow to cool for 10 minutes. Serve Cornbread Pudding Spoonbread warm with your favorite barbecue dish or beans. Serves 10-12.
Notes
*If you’re using a baking pan made of pottery, follow usage directions for baking. I always try to heat this type of pan along with the oven, and not in a preheated oven. If using this type of pan, you may need to add a few extra minutes to your baking time.**Unless otherwise indicated, all butter used on this recipe site is salted.
