Categories: Breads, Mexican
Cooking Time: 40 minutes
Servings: 6
Ingredients:
3 cups cornmeal
1/2 cups flour
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp salt
2 Tbsp sugar
3 eggs, beaten
2 1/2 cups buttermilk
1/2 cup oil
1 lrg onion
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 cup jalapeno pepper
1 oz chopped pimiento
1/4 lb crisp bacon
15 oz cream corn
1 1/2 cup grated cheese
Have all ingredients at room temperature. Chop the onion and the jalapenos
finely. Crumble the bacon. Mix together the cornmeal, flour, soda, salt, and
sugar in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, beaten
eggs, and oil. Add to the dry ingredients with a few swift strokes of the mixing
spoon. Don't beat the dough -- just stir enough to moisten all particles. Fold
in the onion, garlic powder, jalapenos, pimiento, bacon, corn, and cheese
quickly. Bake in a cast iron skillet in a 400 degree oven for 25 to 30 minutes,
until the top is browned and a toothpick tests clean
