Recipes - AuntiE TFL's Sweet Potato Spoon Bread

AuntiE TFL's Sweet Potato Spoon Bread
As I have a severe aversion to those sweet potato casseroles with marshmallows, this makes an excellent substitute. 


Ingredients

  • 3 large sweet potatoes

  • 1/4 cup yellow cornmeal

  • 2 cups milk

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • 1/4 cup light-brown sugar

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1/4 cup honey

  • 4 large eggs

  • 1 cup heavy cream

Directions

  • Step 1 Heat oven to 400 degrees. Bake sweet potatoes until soft when pierced with a knife, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool. Peel, and discard skins.

  • Step 2 Reduce heat to 350 degrees. In a medium saucepan over medium heat combine cornmeal, milk, butter, brown sugar, spices, salt, and 1 cup water. Cook, stirring, until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Let cool.

  • Step 3 Butter a 2-quart baking dish. Working in batches if necessary, place cornmeal mixture, sweet potatoes, flour, honey, eggs, and cream in a food processor. Process until smooth; pour into dish. Bake until golden brown, about 45 minutes. Serve.
