Mexican-Style Cheddar Cornbread

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Mexican-Style Cheddar Cornbread.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and greasing an 8-inch square pan or a trusty cast iron skillet to ensure your dish comes out perfectly.

2. Step 2

   In a small bowl, crack the eggs and give them a good whisk.

3. Step 3

   Then, add in the buttermilk and corn oil, mixing until everything is beautifully combined.

4. Step 4

   Now, it’s time to add some flavor! Stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, along with the cream-style corn, chopped onion, and minced jalapeños, creating a vibrant mixture that will make your taste buds dance.

5. Step 5

   In a larger bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, creating a fluffy base for your dish.

6. Step 6

   Gently pour the egg mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring just until everything is combined—remember, a little lumpiness is perfectly fine; we want to avoid overmixing! Now, transfer this delightful batter into your prepared pan, and for that extra cheesy goodness, sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese on top.

7. Step 7

   Pop it into your preheated oven and let it bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top turns a lovely golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

   As the aroma fills your kitchen, you’ll know you’re in for a treat! Enjoy your delicious creation!.
