Calico Cornbread


We have two favorite cornbread recipes in our home. This one is Jim's. It's called "Calico Cornbread" and comes from a Cooking Light "Light and Easy" cookbook. I've been making this for over ten years and it has never disappointed.


CALICO CORNBREAD


1 cup flour

2/3 cup yellow cornmeal

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1 Tbsp sugar

1/4 tsp pepper

2/3 cup buttermilk

1 (7 oz) can Mexicorn

1/2 cup chopped onion

2 Tbsp butter, melted

1 egg (or 1/4 cup egg substitute), beaten

cooking spray


Place a 9" cast-iron skillet in a 450 oven for about 5 minutes.


Combine first 6 ingredients in a large bowl, whisk. Make a well in the center. Combine buttermilk and next 4 ingredients; add to dry ingredients, stirring until moistened.


Coat skillet with cooking spray; immediately pour batter into hot skillet. Bake at 450 for 20 minutes or until golden. Cut into wedges.
