Method

  • Step 1

    Grease an oven dish roughly sized 25 x 18 cm generously with butter and set to one side. Install cooking pot into unit, close the lid and select BAKE, set the temperature to 160°C, and the time to 40 minutes. Select START/STOP to begin pre-heating the unit.

  • Step 2

    Whilst the unit is pre-heating, whisk together the fine corn meal and sea salt in a large bowl. Gradually whisk in the freshly boiled water until there are no lumps. Next whisk in the melted butter, followed by the milk, eggs, and baking powder.

  • Step 3

    Pour the mixture into the greased oven dish. Once the unit beeps to signify that it has finished pre-heating, open the lid and carefully place the baking dish inside. Close the lid and bake for 35-40 minutes until golden brown and set in the middle.

  • Step 4

    Serve immediately with any of the above optional toppings.

    Notes:

    Spoon bread can be served as a dessert – just top with butter and a drizzle of maple syrup or honey.

    To make this dish a little more interesting you can add chopped spring onions, jalapenos, cheese, and even sweetcorn before baking to add more flavour and texture.
