Southern Spoonbread
Spoonbread, a beloved dish from the American South, is a delightful cross between cornbread and a soft, creamy pudding. This comforting dish has roots dating back to Native American cuisine, where corn was a staple. Traditionally served as a side dish, spoonbread is rich, buttery, and can be enjoyed sweet or savory, making it a versatile addition to any meal. Let the warm, golden spoonbread melt in your mouth, and savor the hints of nostalgia it brings to your table.

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish with butter.
- In a medium saucepan, bring the milk to a boil over medium heat. Slowly whisk in the cornmeal, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer the mixture, stirring frequently, until it thickens to a creamy consistency, about 5 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the butter until fully melted and incorporated.
- Allow the mixture to cool slightly before stirring in the beaten eggs, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Pour the mixture into the greased casserole dish, smoothing the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the spoonbread is set in the center and has a light golden color on top.
- Serve warm, spooned directly from the dish. Enjoy it as a side with savory dishes or topped with honey or maple syrup for a sweet treat.
