This is a variation on the Marsh Hen Mill Cornbread recipe.
Ingredients
- ¾ Cup Yellow Cornmeal
- ¾ Cup Jimmy Red Cornmeal
- ½ tsp. Baking Soda
- 1 tsp. salt 1 Cup Frozen Corn (Or leftover corn cut off the cob)
- ¾ Cup Shredded Mexican Blend Cheese (I use Kirkland brand)
- 2 Jalapeno Peppers Diced (Optional)
- 1 Cup Whole Milk
- 2 Tsp. White Vinegar
- 1 Large Egg
- 2 Tbsp. Unsalted Butter Melted
- 2 Tbsp. Vegetable Oil.
- 1 Tbsp. Crisco Honey to taste
Directions
Put a 10” iron skillet in the oven and preheat oven to 400 or convection oven to 375. Add the 2 tablespoons vinegar to the whole milk, stir once, and let stand 10 minutes.
Stir together the cornmeal, baking soda and salt. Stir in the frozen corn. Add jalapeno pepper if using. Mix in the shredded cheese. Beat the egg and add it to the milk. Stir in the melted butter and oil. Mix the dry and wet ingredients until combined.
Remove the skillet from the oven and add the 1 tablespoon of Crisco and let melt.
Carefully swirl the melted Crisco around the skillet. Pour the cornmeal mixture into the skillet and carefully spread across the skillet. Squirt honey from a honey dispenser in thin crisscross lines about ¼” apart across the top of the corn meal mixture.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until the top is brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
