Simple cornbread recipe with an added bit of flavor and color. This is a very toned down version for the newbies. If you like it hot- just add a little cayenne, double the jalapeno or drain and add a can of spicy Ro*Tel.
Ingredients:
1 cup corn meal
1 cup flour
1/4 cup sugar
4 tsp. baking
3 fine diced large jalapenos
1 cup corn
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 diced med white onion
1/2 tsp salt (optional- i don't use)
1 egg
3 tbl. vegetable oil.
1 1/4 cup milk (or 1 cup milk and 2 ttbl. sour cream)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450
2. Mix all dry ingredients
3. Mix egg, milk and veg. oil separately
4. Reserve jalapeno, onion, cheese and corn separately
5. ***Important- liberally oil muffin pan and preheat the oven to 450 degrees before you add your cornmeal mix. This browns the bottom of the muffins and forms a desirable crispy layer.***
6. Mix the wet and dry ingredients together and stir in the jalapeno mix.
7. Fill each muffin container 3/4 full, ****watch out for popping oil****
8. Bake for approx. 15 minutes or until a golden brown color is achieved.
9. take a small spoon or spatula and remove the muffins immediately; they will burn if you leave them in the pan to cool.
10. Best eaten hot w/ black eyed peas and ham or just plain butter.
