This is my version of Mexican cornbread. It's got a bit of a kick to it. It will be as mild or hot as your pico de gallo is.

1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp granulated garlic
1 tsp granulated onion
1 egg
1 1/2 c buttermilk (or sour milk)
1/4 c butter, melted
1 c pico de gallo or 1 can rotel, drained
1 c grated cheese, your choice

  • 3. Place butter in cast iron skillet and heat till melted in oven. Remove and pour cornbread into pan. Bake 425° for 25 min.

Tips:

  • Use fresh corn kernels for the best flavor and texture. You can cut the kernels off the cob yourself or purchase them pre-cut.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Be sure to preheat your oven before baking the cornbread muffins. This will help them rise properly.
  • Bake the cornbread muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will dry them out.
  • Let the cornbread muffins cool for a few minutes before serving. This will make them easier to handle.
