Soofle - a new development

[fantasty]

Entirely by accident, I recently made a soofle from scratch. While nothing can be as fast and easy as the original, this didn't take too much longer. It's an adaptation of the custard-filled cornbread in the 13th edition of the Fannie Farmer:

 

2 eggs

3 T butter, melted

3 T sugar (I halved this)

1/2 t salt

2 cups milk

1 1/2 T white vinegar

1 cup flour

3/4 cup yellow cornmeal

1 t baking powder

1/2 t baking soda

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup corn (I used fresh off the cob; frozen or canned would work, too - the latter especially to honor the spirit of the soofle)

 

Butter a baking dish and let it get hot in the oven @ 350 while you mix the batter.

 

Beat eggs and butter together, then add sugar, salt, milk and vinegar. In a separate bowl, sift or stir the flour, cornmeal, baking powder and baking soda, then add to the egg mixture. Add the corn and mix just until the batter is smooth and no lumps appear. Pour the batter into the heated dish, then pour the cream into the center of the batter; don't stir. Bake for an hour, or until lightly browned.

A what?

This is where our search engine let's us down.

 

Indiana corn soofle, of course!

I think the first mention is here.

Cheese grits are VERY popular around these parts. This past weekend I was served a version that included whole corn kernels. I immediately thought of Fantasty's soofle.

A soofle made from scratch turns the idea upside down, but it eliminates the embarrassment of admitting to the Jiffy Mix when someone asks for the recipe, to say nothing of the canned creamed corn.

Jiffy Mix is the Coscto of all pre-mixed packaged instant bread products.

And it's suitable for vegan eating. Maybe.

Except for the animal products, yes, ideal for vegans.

This is true for lots of items in the grocery store.

i almost made this yesterday, but instead we had cornbread stuffing and cornbread with goat cheese as out bread for the meal. i think a gluten free version will make the next holiday table.
