MEXICAN CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Preheat the oven to 400 F.​
• Thoroughly grease and flour a 9 × 9-inch baking pan (or use a nonstick baking pan or a flexible silicone pan). Or use a cast-iron skillet.
• Sift together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt.​
• Combine the milk, eggs, butter (or shortening) and sugar, if using.​
• Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ones and mix just until the flour is moistened, no more than 10 to 15 seconds. Then fold in the corn, diced peppers, and cheese, but don't overmix the batter or the cornbread will be too tough.​
• Pour the batter into your prepared pan and bake the cornbread immediately.
• Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cornbread comes out clean and the edges of the cornbread start to separate from the pan.
• Serve and enjoy.

OLD FASHIONED MEXICAN CORNBREAD

Steps:

• 1. Place the bacon grease in the bottom of a well-seasoned 9" or 10"cast iron skillet. Preheat it at 425°F for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, mix up batter: Stir together cornmeal, egg, milk, corn, chilies, jalapeños, and cheese to a thin batter. Use more milk if necessary to produce a batter thinner than cake batter.
• 2. When skillet is preheated, pour batter into skillet. It will sizzle and start to form a crust - don't be alarmed. Bake the skillet of cornbread at 425°F about 25 minutes, until nicely browned. Cut into wedges. Serve immediately with lots of butter.

MEXICAN CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Line an 8x8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving overhang on two opposite sides like handles. Lightly coat with nonstick spray. Set aside.
• Melt the butter in a medium microwave-safe mixing bowl and set aside to cool to room temperature.
• In a large, separate bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• Add the eggs to the bowl with the melted butter and whisk until blended. Stir in the buttermilk and honey. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and, by hand, stir gently just until combined. The batter will be lumpy. Gently stir in 1 cup of the cheese, corn, jalapeño peppers, and half of the green onions. Let the batter sit at room temperature for 20 minutes while you preheat the oven.
• Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle the remaining green onions and 1/2 cup cheese on top. Bake the cornbread for 28 to 32 minutes, or until center is set, the top is golden brown, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan, then using the parchment paper, lift it onto a cutting board. For tidy slicing, let cool completely. For warm, messy slices, cut right away and enjoy!
