These Spoon Cakes are one of the favored Boone Tavern Hot Breads. They are cut in half and eaten by buttering a bite and holding the cake in your fingers.

For me . . . give me spoon cakes, honey and coffee. My Mom made these same kind of little cakes as I grew up. I was so glad to get the recipe from Boone Tavern and I have made them on many "snow days" for Beth and Gina. Beth loves them with molasses and butter.
