Peach Spoonbread with Peach Cinnamon Glaze

Ingredients

For the spoonbread

• 4 tablespoons butter for the 6-inch skillet
• 1/2 cup plain cornmeal - yellow or white
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup of boiling water (you can reserve the syrup from canned peaches, making up any shortage by adding water to equal 1/2 cup of liquid)
• 2 tablespoons butter - melted in boiling water or heated peach syrup
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 egg
• 1 cup chopped peaches
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 tablespoons butter for skillet

For the syrup

• 1/4 cup reserved peach syrup from canned peaches or 1/4 cup water
• 4 tablespoons white or brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon butter
• dash of cinnamon

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. To prepare skillet, warm it in the oven as it comes to temperature, with butter in the pan to melt.
3. Mix cornmeal and salt then add the liquid/butter mixture. Stir well to remove any lumps. Add the milk and blend until smooth. Add the egg and blend until smooth. Stir in the peaches and baking powder. The batter will be thin.
4. Remove skillet from oven when it comes to temperature. Carefully pour batter into skillet. The melted butter will rise up and over the batter. Return skillet to the 350-degree oven for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden an the edges just begin to pull away from the pan.
5. Let sit and cool just a couple of minutes while preparing the syrup.
6. For the syrup: combine all ingredients in a microwave-safe measuring cup or bowl. Heat on high for 2 minutes. Carefully remove from microwave and stir. Return microwave for 2 more minutes. Remove carefully and stir the syrup. If it is still too lose, cook it for 1-2 minutes longer. 
7. Serve spoonbread right from the skillet. Drizzle with the syrup and enjoy!
