Mexican Cornbread Recipe
Description
This Mexican Cornbread recipe combines cornmeal and flour with sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to create a leavened batter. Eggs, buttermilk, and vegetable oil moisten the dry ingredients, while creamed corn adds moisture and sweetness. Chopped green onions and red peppers provide fresh, mild spiciness and color, and shredded cheddar cheese contributes richness and a melty texture during baking.
The batter is poured into a greased 8x8 inch pan and baked at 350°F for about 35 minutes, producing a golden crust and soft, moist interior. The cornbread can be cut into squares and served warm, complementing chili or soup with its mild heat and cheesy depth.
