Mexican cornbread #1

1 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1½ cup White Cornmeal
½ cup Flour
1 tablespoon Sugar
2 teaspoons Baking Powder
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
1 teaspoon Salt
1 cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese, Grated
3 Jalapeno Chiles, Seeded
2 larges Eggs
1½ cup Buttermilk
3 tablespoons Unsalted Butter

Directions

Heat a well-seasoned 9-inch cast-iron skillet over low heat. Into a bowl, sift together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and soda. Add the cheese and the chiles, and toss the mixture well.

In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk. In the skillet, melt the butter and whisk it into the buttermilk mixture.

Add the buttermilk mixture to the cornmeal mixture and stir the batter until it is thoroughly mixed. Pour it into the heated skillet.

Bake the cornbread in the middle of a preheated 425f oven for 25-30 minutes or until it pulls away from the sides slightly and the top of the bread is lightly browned. from Bill Neal, a North Carolina restauranteur and author, a 1990 Gourmet Mag. favorite Submitted By MICHELLE HOWE On 08-21-95
