This vegetarian cornbread is very moist from the creamed corn and nice and flavorful from the cheese and spice. If using non hydrogenated margarine, use a little less than 1/4 cup because of the higher moisture content.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups yellow cornmeal (or white or blue cornmeal)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 cup 1% fat buttermilk
1 (224 g) can cream-style corn
1/4 cup margarine, melted or 1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 (112 g) can green chilies, chopped, well drained
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup low-fat monterey jack cheese, shredded or 1 cup low-fat cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 230C (450F). Grease bottom and sides of a 8x8 inch or 9x9 inch square pan, or a 22 or 23 cm or 25 cm oven proof skillet.
2. Mix all ingredients; Beat vigorously 30 sec; pour batter into pan.
3. Bake 25 to 30 minutes (skillet about 20 min) or until golden brown. Serve warm.
