ZUCCHINI CORNBREAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 F
• In a 10" cast iron skillet, melt butter and set aside to cool.
• In a small bowl, mix together grated zucchini and ¼ teaspoon of salt. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, oregano, cumin, paprika and 3/4 cup grated cheddar. Add the jalapeno, corn and scallions. Mix to combine well.
• In a separate bowl beat the eggs, add buttermilk and maple syrup. Pour the cooled, melted butter from the cast iron pan into the egg mixture, a little at a time, whisking as you go. You will be baking the cornbread in the nicely buttered skillet, so don't clean it out! Brush sides with butter.
• Place salted zucchini in a cheesecloth or clean dish towel and gently squeeze out the excess liquid.
• Add the wet egg mixture to the flour/cornmeal mixture. Ever so gently fold in the zucchini mixing just to combine. It will be quite thick, more like dough than a batter. Carefully press into the skillet, smoothing just enough to even it out. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
• Bake on the middle rack for 35-40 minutes, until deeply golden and puffed.
