Christiana Campbell’s Tavern Spoon Bread
Our whole family loves this recipe. We picked it up during a visit to Williamsburg, Virginia when we ate in the Tavern one night. I have made it often for us.
1 1/3 cup boiling water
1 1/3 cups fresh milk
1 cup cornmeal
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/3 teaspoon sugar
4 tablespoons butter
3 eggs
1 Tablespoon baking powder.
Preheat oven to 350û.
Grease two-quart, shallow baking dish.
Mix sugar, salt, and cornmeal. Pour boiling water over mixture, stirring constantly. Add butter and let stand until cool. Beat eggs with the baking powder until light and add to mixture. Add milk and stir.
Pour into prepared dish. Place dish in a shallow pan of hot water and bake at 350û for 35 minutes. The texture should be soft and custard-like. Serve with a spoon.
