SKILLET CORN BREAD
A simple, slightly sweet corn bread made in the versatile cast-iron skillet. Tastes great and is a good base recipe to experiment with. Cast-iron skillets take a little bit of time to warm up. Pre-warming the skillet allows the corn bread to cook evenly.

PAN DE ELOTE
As weird as it may sound, whenever I think of these, I think of the trunk of a car. You see, parked around the streets of Mexico City are numerous cars filled with towers of corn breads. Their trunks are open and there is a cardboard sign announcing the delicacies for sale. This particular recipe takes only a few minutes to prepare (plus baking time, of course) and the result is very tasty and moist. Enjoy a slice with a cup of cold milk or coffee.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease and flour a 9-inch cake pan.
- Slice the kernels from the corn over a kitchen towel so they don't fly all over the place.
- Sift together the flour and the baking soda. Put the eggs, condensed milk, crema, and vanilla in an electric blender or food processor and mix to combine. Slice the butter into small pats, then add it to the blender. Add the flour mixture and the corn kernels, then blend until it's well incorporated (the mixture will not be completely smooth and that's okay).
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool slightly, invert onto a wire rack, and allow to cool. Cut into slices and enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Tips:
- Use fresh corn: Fresh corn gives the bread a sweeter, more flavorful taste. If you don't have fresh corn, you can use frozen or canned corn, but the flavor will be less pronounced.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in a dense, dry bread. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a hot oven: A hot oven will help the bread rise quickly and evenly. Preheat the oven to the temperature specified in the recipe before baking the bread.
- Let the bread cool before serving: Letting the bread cool for a few minutes before serving will help it set and make it easier to slice.
