Recipe(tried): Spoon Bread from Hotel Roanoke

This recipe is from the Hotel Roanoke in Roanoke, VA. I can't remember what Morrison's spoon bread tastes like, but if this isn't tart enough (you said you thought it had sour cream in it), maybe replacing all or part of the milk with buttermilk might do it. I have a bunch more spoon bread recipes if this isn't what you're looking for.
