(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Pizza/flatbread

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups flour
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups canned creamed corn
  • 4.5 oz can mild green chiles, drained, chopped
  • 1 1/2 oz mild white cheddar, grated
  • 1 1/2 oz Monterey Jack, grated
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, room temp
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • Nonstick vegetable oil spray

Directions

  1. Place rack in middle of oven. Set skillet on a rimmed baking sheet, place on rack, and preheat oven to 400. Whisk flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl to combine. Lightly beat eggs in a medium bowl to blend; whisk in creamed corn, chiles, cheddar and Monterey Jack.

  2. Mix butter and sugar in a large bowl with a wooden spoon just until butter absorbs sugar but butter is still in small pieces. Add egg mixture and mix until just combined. Mix in dry ingredients until barely incorporated.

  3. Remove skillet from oven and lightly coat with nonstick spray. Scrape in batter. Bake cornbread until top is golden brown and springs back when gently pressed, 35-45 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes before serving.
