Southern Spoon Bread offers authentic comfort food with its soft, pudding-like texture and rich flavor. This traditional recipe uses cornmeal, cracklings, and eggs for a dish that falls somewhere between cornbread and soufflé. Cooked first in a double boiler then finished in the oven, this old-fashioned side dish makes a perfect accompaniment to hearty Southern meals or holiday dinners.
