Ingredients:
Dry Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sugar
Wet Ingredients:
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
Additional Ingredients:
1 can of Mexicorn, drained
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup diced jalapenos (optional)
To make this mouth-watering Mexican cornbread, start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Mix well and set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: buttermilk, vegetable oil, and eggs. Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture, stirring until well combined. Add in the drained Mexicorn and mix until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
If you want to add a little spice to your cornbread, you can also mix in some diced jalapenos at this point. This will give your cornbread a nice kick of heat. However, if you prefer a milder version, you can skip this step.
Next, pour the batter into a greased 9-inch square baking pan. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the batter. The cheese will melt into the bread, adding a delicious gooeyness to every bite.
Bake the Mexican cornbread for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once done, let it cool for a few minutes before cutting into squares and serving.
This Mexican cornbread is the perfect side dish for any Mexican-inspired meal. It pairs well with chili, soups, or even as a standalone snack. The combination of the sweet and savory flavors, along with the slight crunch from the Mexicorn, makes this cornbread a crowd-pleaser.
So next time you want to add a twist to your traditional cornbread recipe, give this Mexican cornbread a try. Your taste buds will thank you.
