Kentucky cornmeal souffle: stone-ground cornmeal stirred into hot milk to a porridge, beaten with eggs and butter, baked until risen and soft enough to scoop with a spoon. The state's defining cornbread.
Spoonbread is a Kentucky and Virginia tradition with documented recipes from the 18th century. The dish takes its name from the soft scoopable texture, distinct from sliceable cornbread; it is closer to a souffle than a quickbread. Boone Tavern in Berea, Kentucky, claims the canonical recipe, on the menu since 1909. In Louisville the spoonbread is served at Jack Fry's, Garage Bar and 610 Magnolia as the Southern starch accompaniment to braised meats and game.
