Arizona Cornbread Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400°F. Spray the bottom and sides of an 8-inch square pan or 9-inch round cake pan with the cooking spray.
• In a 1-quart saucepan, heat the butter over low heat until melted.
• In a large bowl, beat the melted butter, milk and egg with a fork or wire whisk until well mixed. Add the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt all at once; stir just until the flour is moistened (batter will be lumpy). Pour batter into the pan; use a rubber spatula to scrape batter from bowl. Spread batter evenly in pan and smooth top of batter.
• Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or, better yet, a 12-inch cast iron skillet. In a large bowl, beat together butter and sugar. Beat in eggs one at a time. Blend in creamed corn, chiles, Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheese. In a separate bowl, stir together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. Add flour mixture to corn mixture; stir just until smooth. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour, until a toothpick inserted into center of the pan comes out clean. If using the skillet - watch carefully as edges may brown too much and time should be under an hour. If desired, serve with butter and honey. *Some think these quantities make it too rich (and unhealthy). Use 1/2 cup butter and less sugar to taste.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degree f.
• Cream butter and sugar.
• Add eggs slowly, one at a time.
• Add chiles, corn and cheese, mixing well to incorporate.
• Sift together dry ingredients, then add and mix until smooth.
• Pour into well-buttered, square 9 inch pan and bake about 1 hour.

Steps:

• Prehead oven & skillet to 300 degrees.
• Mix flour, cornmeal, salt & baking powder and set aside. Melt butter and combine with sugar, creamed corn and chili peppers. Mix to combine. Add eggs one-by one and mix until well blended. Add cheese. Fold-in flour mixture until mixed well, clumps are okay.
• Carefully remove cast iron skillet from oven and evenly coat top and sides with canola/vegetable oil. Pour in cornbread batter (be careful, it may splatter).
• Bake 30-45 minutes, or until top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
