Spicy Sweet Cornbread Recipes

SWEET JALAPENO CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Beat margarine and sugar together in a large bowl until smooth. Combine cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt in another bowl. Stir eggs and milk in a third bowl. Pour 1/3 milk mixture and 1/3 flour mixture alternately into margarine mixture; whisk until just mixed. Repeat with remaining ingredients and stir in jalapeno peppers. Spread mixture evenly into prepared baking pan.
• Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 22 to 26 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing.

SPICY CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Combine the cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, cayenne, coriander, salt, pepper and baking soda in a large bowl.
• Melt 8 tablespoons butter in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, then pour into a small bowl and set aside. Return the skillet to medium-high heat, add another tablespoon of butter and once it melts, add the poblano pepper and cook until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until it is softened and light brown, about 1 minute. Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the pepper-garlic mixture to another small bowl.
• Whisk together the buttermilk, eggs and the reserved 8 tablespoons of melted butter. Pour the buttermilk mixture into the cornbread mixture and stir until smooth. Separate and reserve a few pieces of poblano from the pepper-garlic mixture, then mix the remaining pepper-garlic mixture into the batter.
• Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet and melt, swirling to coat (if your pan has cooled a bit, warm it up over low heat). Turn off the heat and pour the cornbread batter into the skillet. Top with the reserved pieces of poblano and bake until the center bounces back when gently pressed with a finger, about 20 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

SWEET AND SPICY CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Put a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and add the oil. When the oil is hot, add the onions and cook until they are soft and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Remove the onions from the pan onto a plate. Leave the remaining oil in the pan.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the baking mix, cornmeal, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cayenne. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until combined. Fold in the reserved onions and the jalapeno. Pour the batter into the skillet the onions were cooked in and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes.
