Ingredients

  • Yellow cornmeal: This is a type of flour made from dried, ground corn. It has a coarse consistency and adds texture and depth to the cornbread.
  • All-purpose flour: This is used to help bind the ingredients together and give the final product structure.
  • Sugar: Used for sweetness.
  • Baking powder: Baking powder helps to create lightness in the finished product.
  • Salt: Adds flavor to the cornbread.
  • New Mexico Red Chile Powder (optional): For an extra burst of flavor, add a little bit of New Mexico red chile powder.
  • Ancho chile powder: Ancho chiles are dried poblano peppers and they provide a mild heat and smoky flavor to the dish. If you don’t have New Mexico red chile powder, this is a great substitute.
  • Eggs: Eggs help to bind the ingredients together.
  • Buttermilk: Buttermilk adds richness and flavor to the cornbread.
  • Canola oil: Canola oil helps to give the cornbread a nice golden color and prevents it from drying out.
  • Creamed Corn: The creaminess of the creamed corn pairs perfectly with the texture of the cornbread.
  • Muenster cheese: Muenster cheese adds a creamy, savory flavor to the dish.
  • Jalapenos: These provide a spicy kick to balance out all of the other flavors in this dish.
