Zesty Mexican Cornbread
Ingredients
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup corn oil
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 (8 ounce) can cream-style corn
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 fresh jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
1
Collect and prepare all necessary components for the recipe.
2
Preheat your oven to a temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (or 175 degrees Celsius, if preferred).
3
Next, take a moment to lubricate an 8-inch square baking dish or a cast iron skillet with some grease.
4
In a small bowl, take the eggs and give them a good whisking; then, add in buttermilk and corn oil to the mixture.
5
Combine 1 cup of shredded cheese, creamed corn, diced onion, and chopped jalapeños in the bowl with the egg mixture.
6
In a separate large bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
7
Take the whisk and mix these dry ingredients together until they form a uniform blend.
8
Now, pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish or skillet.
9
On top of the batter, sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheese.
10
Place your dish in the preheated oven and bake until the top is golden brown, and when you insert a toothpick into the center of the dish, it comes out clean.
