spoonbread
Southern baked custard
Spoonbread is a soft, moist Southern American dish made from cornmeal, eggs, milk, and butter, baked until puffy but still soft enough to serve with a spoon rather than sliced like cornbread.
It has a texture somewhere between a soufflé and a pudding: She served spoonbread alongside the fried chicken.
