Texas Confetti Cornbread


Ready for a melt in your mouth "down south" Texas recipe?  Look no further...This cornbread was SOOOO delicious.  Cornbread gone wrong is dry and flavorless- this one is packed full of spice and fell apart as I picked it up- Yum!


INGREDIENTS:

- 1 C. Milk
-1/4 C. Butter, melted
- 1 Large Egg
- 1 1/4 C. Yellow or White Cornmeal
- 1 C. Flour
- 1/2 C. Sugar
- 1 Tbsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 3/4 C. Frozen or Fresh corn
- 1/2 of a Green Bell Pepper, chopped
- 1-2 Fresh Jalapenos, chopped (according to how spicy you want it!  Omit the pepper for less spice or chop up 2 for full spice)


DIRECTIONS:

1.) Heat oven to 400'.  Grease or spray bottom and side of round (9 x 1 1/2 in) or square (8 x8 x 2 in) pan.
2.) Beat milk, butter and egg in a large bowl with large wire whisk.  Stir in the next 5 ingredients until moistened (Do NOT overbeat this mixture- it should be slightly lumpy).
3.) Steam together corn and peppers (for a quick shortcut, use a "steamer bag" in the microwave as you mix the other ingredients).
4.) Add corn and peppers to batter and stir lightly.
5.) Pour into pan and bake for 20-30 minutes or until  the top becomes golden brown (or a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
6.) Enjoy!

*I paired this new cornbread concotion of mine with some homemade red and pinto beans with sausage!  It was soooo delicious!
