This was lovely and got rave reviews from DH. I live in a "Jiffy Mix free zone", so it was nice to see a spoonbread recipe that did not require the mix. I tinkered with this a little. I substituted 1 cup of buttermilk for 1 cup of the milk. I also added 2 tbsp. of chopped green onion, 1 tbsp. of finely minced red pepper and 1/3 cup grated cheddar cheese. I used some ancho chili instead of the pepper flakes and some smoked sea salt instead of regular salt. I served this as a side dish with grilled chili crusted steak and slow roasted cherry tomatoes. This recipe would nicely serve 4 as a side dish. It would also make a good brunch dish. Thanks for the inspiration Cheesehead!

    This was very good. I added a couple of tablespoons of sugar to the recipe since we like ours a little sweeter. We took it to a party and it went over very well. I think next time I'll add additional pepper flakes, or some green chili peppers for more seasoning. thanks
