Steps
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180 °C) (175°C (350 °F)). Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. The source emphasizes using this larger pan so the batter is not too thick and cooks evenly; smaller 9-by-9- or 8-by-8-inch pans may result in uneven cooking.
In a bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix briefly until the dry ingredients are evenly distributed, then set the mixture aside.
In a separate large bowl, combine the granulated sugar, drained canned corn, creamed corn, sweetened condensed milk, egg, and melted butter.
Mix the wet ingredients until well combined and the sugar is incorporated.
Add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients. Stir just until the batter is combined; do not leave pockets of dry flour or cornmeal.
Pour the batter into the buttered 9-by-13-inch pan and spread it into an even layer.
Bake at 350°F (180 °C) (175°C (350 °F)) for 45 to 55 minutes, until the top is browned and the center is set.
Remove the spoonbread from the oven and serve spooned from the pan.
Notes
The transcript notes that using up to three eggs produces a stiffer spoonbread, while the written recipe specifies one egg. The creator attributes most of the spoonbread history to Food52.
