A very nice bread recipe. I made the cornbread as per directions, except I cooked it in 2 cast iron skillets with a little fat. I put the skillets in the oven and got the fat very hot, then added the cornbread mixture. The bottom of the cornbread turns out crisp, which helps hold it's shape when cut. We absolutely loved the flavor of this cornbread. Spicy and totally irresistable. Thanks for sharing this keeper. -
There are so many variations of corn bread, and this is yet another wonderful one! It's got that grainy, crumbly texture. It's so flavorful. I thought I had creamed corn on hand, but no. So, since I learned that canned cream corn is merely split corn kernels, I processed my whole kernel corn briefly in my mini-prep and it worked beautifully. Thanks Sue L! -
Great base recipe! I used fresh jalapeños and topped with green chilies.....it was amazing....I also made my own buttermilk and cream corn -
Very nice result both visually and taste-wise. I used maple syrup instead of sugar and only 1/2 cup of butter - would do those things again. Would use more jalape -
I was looking for a unique Mexican corn bread recipe and came across this one. I've tried other very good recipes before, but this one is different as it doesn't use flour. As a result it is verrrrry corny--lol! No pun intended. Seriously, though I found it to be quite addicting and is now my favorite recipe for "Mexican" corn bread. One thing I did change was to add a couple tablespoons of sugar for a sweeter but not too sweet bread.

Sue L., this Jalapeno and Cheddar Cornbread recipe was sooo delicious! I used a cast-iron skillet, cut back a bit on the Jalapenos and added the juice from the jar of Jalapenos instead. The juice gave the cornbread such a delicious taste without the heat!! I had to bake 40-45 minutes in my oven but the end result was tatsy!! Thanks Sue L.!!
