Spoon bread is simply a very rich and dense corn bread, a dish so dense that it must be served up with a spoon.
It's been told that General George Washington loved this dish and it was served quite frequently at Mount Vernon!

Virginia Spoon Bread

serves 8

Ingredients:

1 cup cornmeal, (white or yellow)
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 cups milk, scalded
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
2 eggs, separated

Mix the cornmeal and salt together and stir them into the hot milk. Cook over very low heat, stirring all the time until thick and smooth.
Continue cooking for 15 mins longer stirring occasionally. Cool slightly.

As that is cooling, beat well your egg yolks and beat till stiff the whites.
Stir in the baking powder and the egg yolks, then fold in the beaten whites. Turn all this into a greased casserole or 8 inch square pan.

Bake in a moderate oven - about 375°F - for around 35 minutes or until bread is firm and the crust is browned.

Serve directly from the baking dish.

This is a traditionally Irish and scottish bread (in scotland I think they are called soda cakes) There's no yeast in it so it's really quick to make.

Ingredients:

500g Cream (plain) flour
500g Wholemeal flour
15g salt
30g cream of tartar
20g Bread (baking) soda
10g Caster (white) sugar
875g Buttermilk (cold)

Method:

Sieve the flours, salt, cream of tartar and bread soda together.

Disolve the sugar in the buttermilk, and add to the dry ingredients. Knead very gently to mix. The mixture is very soft and can be difficult to work with but don't over mix it as this will toughen the bread.

Split the dough in to 3 pieces (650g each). Mould into round balls (use flour to prevent sticking) and place on tray. Dust them with flour and cut a cross in the centre. Dust with flour and allow to rest for 10 mins.

Bake at 210 C for 35 to 40 mins. When the bread is ready in should sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.

This bread is great with soups, or toasted with jam.

It is also quite healthy. It can be made with all white flour, and you can add fruit.
