Cornbread With Jalapeno and Cheddar Cheese image

You can omit the jalapeno and or cheese. They have a nice kick to them. I am removing Trans fats from my recipes for better health. This originally had shortening and now replaced with a healthier choice of oil.

Roasted Jalapeno and Cheese Cornbread image

This cornbread is best served freshly baked. The roasted peppers provide a light heat, a good strong cheddar is best for full flavour. I sometimes add two tablespoons of finely chopped onion along with the peppers. Source: Homemakers magazine

Tips

- For a spicier cornbread, use more jalapeños. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for an extra kick. - If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using. - To make sure your cornbread is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cornbread is done. - Cornbread is best served warm, but it can also be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze cornbread for up to 2 months.
