My mother obtained our spoon read recipe from a friend who grew up in the South, and we served it with lots of butter and warm apple butter. I have always loved having it warmed in the oven or toaster oven and served with both the butter and apple butter for breakfast, but prefer it with just butter when served with a meal. And it is great for a midnight snack or with iced or hot tea in the afternoon. When left over and warmed, I often try to get a crispy crust on it – love that crunch along with the creaminess inside!

The gluten free thing is pretty hard to stay true to. Especially because I don’t always cook that way for clients. And when I cook at Pie Ranch, that mills their own flour, I’m going to use it (which is an heirloom hard red wheat variety low in gluten).

But I feel so much better when I cut it out. The difficulty is not increasing my intake of other complex carbs. I’ve talked myself into the myth that potato chips and corn tortillas are healthy. And honestly, I feel just as tired and bloated when I eat those.

However, my husband and I are giving this gluten-free thing a real go. We’ve had some pizza relapses but for the most part we’ve cut it out. And it’s been fun to explore other grains.

This recipe is probably my favorite for a gluten-free bread. Delicious!

Hi Kris, Thanks for catching that – I left that out! I add a big three-finger pinch just to add a little sweetness to the cornmeal. But depending on what you are serving this you could add a little more. I wouldnt go over 2 teaspoons personally because I prefer to add sweet accoutrements to go with the spoonbread like maple syrup instead of making the bread itself sweet.

Thanks for catching that!
