Jalapeno Cornbread

Region: New Mexico

Yield: 16 one-inch squares (somebody didn't have the country appetite for cornbread!)

Baking time: 35-40 minutes at 425 degrees F.

End product may be frozen till used.

Ingredients:

1 cup flour

1/8 cup sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1 cup cornmeal (not self-rising)

2 eggs

1 cup buttermilk

1/4 cup shortening

8 ounces cream-style corn

2 tablespoons chopped green chile (Jalapeno or regular green chile. Varied amounts may be used.)

Directions:

1. Combine first six ingredients in a medium size mixing bowl.
2. Add eggs, milk, and shortening to flour-cornmeal mixture and beat until smooth. Add corn and green chile (jalapeno) and blend well.
3. Pour mixture into a greased (and floured), 8 inch baking pan and bake in preheated oven at 425 degrees F for 35-40 minutes, or until cornbread is golden brown.
4. Cut into squares and serve. Goes great with chili, pinto beans, or just about any wild game dish.

Note: You'd probably want to double all the ingredients and use two 8" baking pans unless you don't plan to feed hearty appetites! I use two cast iron skillets. It might get really ugly if you run out before everyone has had his fill...especially at deer camp!
 
We call this one "Mexican Corn Bread"; have no idea why! It really is a good one though. I was fixing a batch for a church supper in Tennessee; forgot the cream corn!
