I've never made it and would like to experiment with it. I saw a recipe I liked, but apparently, I didn't save it and can't find it. There are a lot of different methods out there. Some have regular cornmeal. Some use fine ground. Some use whole milk. Some use cream and some use 1/2 and 1/2. Some use whole eggs beaten together and some use eggs separated with the whites being beaten before adding so it's like a souffle.

Brigtsen's has seafood cornbread baked in a small ramekin with a bit of compound butter on top. It's a bit more like a spoonbread than a cornbread. Thinking about doing something similar like a seafood spoonbread.

I have a Donald Link cookbook with one in it. I'll be happy to share when I get home.

Thanks! I have a few of his books. Let me know which one it's in. I found one online called Little Veron's allegedly from Link's Real Cajun book. It has cheese in it, though, and I'm not looking for one with corn or cheese.

Similar to hot water cornbread?

That looks like it, but she doesn't want the cheese apparently.

It's my wife's recipe, not mine to give.

Thanks everyone. I'll have to try some of the recipes I've found online and see if the textures are what I have in mind. Looking for something sort of similar to Brigtsen's. I may message Frank Brigtsen to see if he will share what he does. He's shared some other recipes with me before, but I hate to keep asking.

Fair enough. Figured I'd ask, your's (or rather your wife's) is the best I know if.

I agree, Ched. I follow him, personally, and the restaurant. He's very personable.
