Why We Love This Spoon Bread Recipe
Tender. This bread is softer than cornbread and wonderfully light and fluffy. Moist. Our recipe is made special by the addition of buttermilk, a tangy moisture-maker! Gluten-Free. There’s no flour in this recipe, so it’s a great option if you or someone in your family has a gluten intolerance. Just make sure that your cornmeal is GF-certified.
Variations on Southern Spoon Bread
This buttermilk spoon bread recipe is the perfect base for exploring different flavor combinations. Try adding some cheese, such as cheddar or gruyere, for a gooey, cheesy version. Fold in some crispy bacon bits, corn kernels, or diced bell peppers for a bit of texture! Or add in some diced jalapeños or cayenne pepper for a spicy kick!
How to Store and Reheat
Spoon bread is best served as soon as it’s made, but leftovers will keep for up to 4 days covered in the fridge. You can heat it up on low in the oven or in the microwave.
How to Freeze
Freeze this Southern-style spoon bread tightly covered with 2 layers of plastic wrap and 1 layer of aluminum foil for up to 3 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
Serving Suggestions
This spoon bread is best served warm with a generous helping of honey butter. It’s pure comfort food! You can also serve it up as a side with roasted meats and it’s pretty perfect when served with a hearty chili.
