CHEESY SPICY CORNBREAD!



Cheesy Spicy Cornbread! image

This is a yummy, easy, savory recipe for cornbread! It's also really good with a can of drained corn, but I have to omit for DH's sake. I like to add a bit of salt because the jiffy mix is a little sweet. I also add 2 tablespoons of flour since I live at high altitude. I've made this different ways, using red onions or green onions, both ways were delish...go with what you like best! Note: If mixture is too dry, just add a splash of milk to moisten. Recipe updated to include milk.

Tips:

  • Preheat your oven: Always preheat your oven to the temperature specified in the recipe before baking the muffins. This ensures that the muffins cook evenly and rise properly.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients, especially the corn and cheddar cheese, will give your muffins the best flavor. If possible, use organic or locally sourced ingredients for the best results.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in tough, dense muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and no dry streaks remain.
  • Fill the muffin cups properly: Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly without overflowing.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the muffins are fully cooked.
  • Let the muffins cool before serving: Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help them to set and make them easier to handle.
