Ingredients:
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar (optional)
- 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup canned corn
- 1 can (4 ounces) green chilies
- 1/3 cup canola oil
- 1/4 cup half-and-half cream
- 2 eggs
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Prepare Baking Pan: Oil a 9-inch square baking pan to prevent sticking.
-
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine flour, yellow cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and sugar (if using). Stir well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
-
Add Flavorful Elements: Incorporate the shredded cheddar cheese, canned corn, and green chilies into the dry mixture. Mix until evenly distributed.
-
Blend Wet Ingredients: In a separate small bowl, beat the eggs until well combined. Add the canola oil and half-and-half cream to the beaten eggs, and mix until smooth.
-
Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl containing the dry mixture. Stir the ingredients together until just combined, being careful not to overmix. A few lumps are okay!
-
Bake: Transfer the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the cornbread is lightly browned on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Serve: Once baked, remove the cornbread from the oven and allow it to cool slightly in the pan. Then, cut it into squares and serve either hot or warm. The aroma and taste of this cornbread are simply irresistible!
