Jalepeno corn bread, trying to expand beyond pizza.

Budgeezer · August 2012

First attempt @ baking something other than pizza. I was hoping that the top would have brown a little more. Heat cast iron with shortening to 425 then add batter and bake for 25 minutes.

Mine's pretty much the same, except I use buttermilk instead of milk (makes it lighter), and 2 eggs instead of 1. Also, I add an 11 oz. can of whole kernel corn and a cup of Monterrey Jack cheese.

Thanks, I don't have buttermilk and could not find any at the grocery stores in the area.

That is a beautiful cornbread!

You can make your own buttermilk by adding.one teaspoon of white vinegar to one cup of milk.
